Buckland Bridge Club
Temporary Closure of the Club
Taking into account the advice from the UK government and the latest advice from the EBU, the Buckland Bridge Club committee have decided that the club should be temporarily closed.
The club is now closed, effective immediately. There will be no bridge sessions during the week commencing 16th March 2020 and then until further notice.
The AGM scheduled for 16th April 2020 has been postponed until after the club re-opens.
The Spring Handicap competitions have been cancelled. All other competitions and events have been postponed or cancelled but may be re-scheduled to take place later in the year if possible.
The club committee very much regret that this has become necessary and we understand that this will be a great disappointment to many of our players.
For those who wish to continue playing bridge, we suggest taking part in the regular on-line tournaments, organised by the EBU via the Bridge Base Online (BBO) website. There are 4 bridge sessions each day, starting at 2:00pm, 3:30pm, 7:30pm & 9:00pm. Each session consists of 12 boards but the 2 afternoon sessions or the 2 evening sessions can be played consecutively giving 24 boards overall. The details of how to join are on the EBU website.

| The Buckland Bridge Club |
Welcome to the Buckland (Surrey) Bridge Club. We are a small, friendly club, designed originally for novices but now catering for more experienced players as well.
We meet on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons in the Buckland Reading Room (Village Hall), pictured here. It is in the Old Road 60 yards from the Buckland village shop. We play duplicate bridge sessions of 21 boards. The table money of £2.50, for members and visitors, includes tea/coffee and biscuits during the interval.
On Wednesday afternoons please arrive by 1.45pm. Play starts at 2.00pm and finishes at about 5.00pm.
On Thursday afternoons please arrive by 2.00pm. Play starts at 2.15pm and finishes at about 5.15pm.
We welcome visitors, pairs or single players, but as the club is limited to a maximum of 12 tables, there is the possibility that we cannot accommodate everyone who wishes to play. Please email Richard Wheen, rwheen@hotmail.com or Veronica Burville, veronica.b@dungates.co.uk in advance.
Visitors need to be aware of the local regulations that operate at the club. Please check under the Information menu on this page.
The Club operates a Host system, so that any member or visitor, who comes without a partner, is guaranteed a game.
