Members can then continue playing as if in their club with their regular partner from the comfort of their own home.
The Main DIDO (DropinDropout) Tournament Room provides a fully approved automated movement to any partnership with a minimum commitment to 4 boards at each sitting and a minimum of 16 boards during each 1 day Session to be listed on the Leader Board. All boards played are fully archived, and can be replayed at any time and compared with all others who have played the same board.

All the other regular tournament rooms including a social room are also available and additional features and improvements geared towards each club will be rolled out according to demand and feasability.

Welcome to Burwash Duplicate Bridge Club

BURWASH DUPLICATE BRIDGE CLUB

We are a young at heart, very friendly bridge club which meets every Friday afternoon in the Parish room of Christ the King Catholic Church, High Street, Burwash. Our aim is to welcome all bridge players who would like to play in a friendly, enjoyable atmosphere which is slightly more competitive than playing at home.

Although a knowledge of the game is requested there is no requirement for previous experience at playing duplicate bridge and there is no requirement to come with a partner as we have hosts who will pair you up with another member.

Please arrive at 1.45pm at the latest so that we can start promptly and to give us time for refreshments.

OUR MANTRA IS FRIENDSHIP, ENJOYMENT AND A HAPPY SOCIAL AFTERNOON PLAYING BRIDGE

CORONAVIRUS

Dear Members, following current Coronavirus government guidelines, it is with great regret that the Burwash Bridge Club Committee have taken the decision to suspend bridge sessions including the AGM planned for next Friday, 20th March, 2020 until further notice.

This decision has been not been taken lightly, but in order to safeguard the health and best interests of our members, you, our dear friends.

The difficult situation will be kept under constant review and we will inform you immediately when our sessions can resume and we will be back to normal.

We thank everyone who supports the club by helping, including those who set up and clear away, the washer uppers, the biscuit and refreshment purchasers, the directors and scorers, the auditor and those who have continued to support the club this year. Our wonderful club has continued to be successful and table numbers have settled to between four and six tables on a regular basis.

We invite you all to keep in contact with us, even just for a chat - you have our telephone numbers.

With much love for a healthy and short break. Jo, Anne, Lorraine, Lilla. Xxxx
