In the light of Government Legislation bridge sessions are still suspended. As soon as we know when play can legally and safely recommence we will announce the details on the website and send messages to as many members and potential visitors as possible. We have decided to keep the website updated to try and counter some of the effects of social isolation. This will allow members to log in and obtain the contact information for others, us to send emails and in the coming days to add some items providing links to online bridge, other activities which can be undertaken remotely and sources of information. We have also set up a WhatsApp group to aid communication between members. 

Let's keep in touch. Please let us know of any links you think fellow members would find useful or if you are in need of assistance.

We've put together some links to sources of advice and online activities. Suggestions for additional sources or topics always welcome:

The NHS has regularly updated general guidance on precautions to take and what to do if you are unwell. Bromley Council has advice for those self-isolating and those wishing to volunteer help.

The EBU has a useful link to sources of online bridge. If you want to play a virtual game with other club members why not register with BBO, swap user names and agree a time to play. We have already added the facility for you to share your BBO username with other members should you wish to do so. Log in to the members area and amend your account - there is now a field where you can add your user name. Look at the member list and the last column on the right contains BBO names. There is the latest version of some guidance on registering and setting up a game here. If you are looking for other members to join an online game and want an email circulated to other members please email Jan.

There is guidance on how to play in a virtual club here

There are a number of sites with free e-books.   There are some free bridge related e-books here  not all of them ACOL but worth a look.

When the World returns to normal do you want to play bridge in Bromley in a friendly relaxed atmosphere? Perhaps with a meal or drink before or after the game? We are a duplicate bridge club based in the Parklangley Club in Wickham Way, Beckenham - located in Bromley, Kent, between West Wickham and Beckenham and on the hail and ride section of the 352 bus route. When we resume operations after the period of social distancing we will play on a Tuesday afternoon and evening using Bridgemates and pre-dealt hands. Visitors are always welcome but members will take priority if there is insufficient room.  For more details and contact information click here.
