Bridge in the Time of Corona |
Regretably, the club remains closed for face to face bridge for the foreseeable future but don't despair. Bracknell Forest Bridge Club’s Monday evening sessions are now running every week on the RealBridge platform. This exciting new service simulates real live bridge, allowing you to see and chat with your partner and opponents. There’s no need to put your name down. Just turn up (figuratively) on the night. For full details of how to join in, please click on RealBridge club sessions on the left menu and choose Play.
EBU Master Points and NGS gradings will be awarded for RealBridge sessions in the same way as for live club sessions. There is a small, 'table money' charge for each session. See click RealBridge club sessions, and choose Play for more details.

We are a medium sized club located at Brownlow Hall in Newell Green, Bracknell with a membership of c50 people and 8-11 tables at each session. We organise a variety of duplicate bridge events and also participate in organised Sim pair events - our aim is to provide a different style of event each month! We run a number of member only club events and have a number of teams who compete in the Bracknell League, the Pivot Cup and the Greens Cup. Our club night is Monday and we typically play 24 hands at each session. We are EBU affiliated and award master points at the majority of events.
We are a super friendly bunch! We have playing scorers and directors at each event who manage to maintain the right balance between a well managed evening and a relaxed atmosphere. Visitors and new members most welcome. Please see the information panel for further details or contact BracknellForestBridgeClub@gmail.com or just click on this news item.
