Crouch Bridge Club
Originally founded on 1st May 1986 at the Crouch Yacht Club and known as the Crouch Bridge Club the original committee was made up by Harry Tribe as Chairman, John Staniforth as Treasurer and Sue Hunter Blair as Secretary.
The club regularly had 4/5 tables playing duplicate pairs every Thursday evening and the club only decided in 1990 to introduce a trophy for the highest ranked pair. The inaugural winners of the Crouch Bridge League were Harry and Laurie Tribe.
Following the closure of the Crouch Yacht Club in 2011 the bridge club moved to the Royal Burnham Yacht Club and we moved again in January 2015 meeting at the Carnival Hall, Devonshire Road until the Covid19 pandemic.
Following Covid19 in November 2021 the club recommenced face to face afternoon play, now on a Wednesday, and found a new home at the Kings Hall, Chapel Road.
In November 2022 the club has found a new home at St Cuthbert's Catholic Church Hall, playing once again in the evening.
Except when yachting matters, Christmas or Covid19 has taken precedence the club has met continuously ever since 1986.
