Breaking News From The WBU
 

 

The Welsh Bridge Union is delighted to announce the launch of the new Menagerie Bridge Club played weekly on Real Bridge and (for at least the first 6 months) completely FREE to all WBU members!The first dates for this new online club are Tuesdays 6th, 13th, 20th and 27th October at 7.15pm with 24 boards played in each session.  It is called The Menagerie Bridge Club as in due course it will run a number of eclectic and varied bridge events on its weekly sessions but, for now, the first 4 sessions will be pairs events whilst players get used to Real Bridge and how much fun it is!!  On Real Bridge you can see the cards and also the other players so you can chat just as if you were at a bridge club at a table together!

The Menagerie Bridge Club is run by WBU Members Mark Roderick, Rachel Oliver and Andrea Knox.  There is a full partnership desk so if you do not have a partner we will guarantee to team you up so you can play as Mark and/or Andrea will always be available to partner someone!  So there is nothing stopping you!!!

Some of you may be curious but have never played on Real Bridge or perhaps never played online – fear not!  Just get in touch and we will arrange an individual session for you online to get you familiar with how easy it is to use!!

If you would like to register for any of these first 4 sessions or just find out more please email both wbuadmin@wbu.org.uk and andrea.knox@knoxcommercial.co.uk

Best wishes from Mark, Rachel and Andrea J

 
StepBridgeUK Closure 31.08.26

StepBridge – it is with sadness that we now have to discontinue our use of StepBridgeUK, primarily due to falling numbers. In its place the WBU intend to use the existing WBU RealBridge platform, and continue with our weekly tournaments (days to be decided). We intend to discontinue StepBridgeUK as from 31stAugust, and have a RealBridge platform in place, having trained Directors. It is recognised that many members have already pre-purchased Participation Points, and the monetary value of these will be refunded where possible. If you wish to reclaim any monies please contact our treasurer – Jean Cuffley – cufleyj@gmail.com – stating how many PPs you need a refund for, and provide her with your bank details. This refund option will only be available until 1st October, after which any residual funds will be transferred to the Welsh Bridge Union.
All developments can be seen by reference to the Welsh Bridge Union website.

We have had some contractual problems with the Seabank Hotel. Fortunately we have found an excellent venue close by and we are guaranteeing the same fantastic value in our new venue.

Our new Venue is the Heronston Hotel and Spa

This is less than 8 miles from the Seabank, 4 miles from the M4. CF35 5AW

The whole Congress is being transferred, the Seabank is no longer involved

All those who have already booked to play and/or stay will be transferred at the same price, they don't need to do anything.

All new accommodation bookings must be made through the WWBA website to benefit from the very generous 2 night package with all prices unchanged .

WWBA Inter Club Teams League
 
   
   
 
WWBA Club League

For the next season we have six West Wales clubs taking part.  Since only five matches in ten months is rather few, we are planning for each pair of clubs to play twice, and a schedule has been made up that will run from 1st September to a final deadline of 4th July 2027, with an extra gap to account for the Christmas season.  Please read the new set of instructions which also takes account of feedback from captains and various other members, for which we are grateful.

Click here for Instructions

Matches can be played F2F or online 

Instructions for setting up a match on BBO can be found under the 'Playing bridge On-line' tab above.
