No Fear Bridge 

♠   ♣ 

if you are someone who has recently started learning bridge and you would like the chance to play without time pressure and with  someone to ask if you need help, then you might like to play in our No Fear Sessions every Thursday Evening at 07.10pm.  There is no need to book, just turn up – there is a host so you can play without a partner.  These Thursday evenings are also suitable for anyone who prefers to play a relaxed game and everyone is most welcome.

Refurbished Bar
Refurbished Bar

The refurbishment of our bar area is now complete.  We look forward to seeing you there!

Michael Akeroyd

Members will be sad to hear that a former member, Michael Akeroyd, died at the beginning of November. Michael had enjoyed playing at the club from the 1970's. Even after a serious stroke 15 years ago, he resumed playing regularly until further health problems just before the pandemic prevented his further attending.  Our thoughts are with his family.
