Courses will continue to be held at least twice a year with the aim of providing a continuous flow of beginners and new members.

Laminated copies can be obtained from the Bridge Office.

Please spread the word around. By getting people to learn to play bridge you will be doing your part in keeping the game going for many years to come and supporting your Club. You can download a more detailed flyer about the course by clicking on Begin Bridge

NEW SCORING SYSTEM

We are now using iBEscore, a phone/tablet based scoring app.

To download the app go to Applestore, Googleplay or your Appstore and search for iBEscore.

The interface is clear, colourful and very user friendly. Please download and explore the app.

The HELP section of the app contains details for players on how to enter scores. You can use a smart phone if you wish but most people use the tablets that we provide.

If you need a bridge partner for one or two sessions or on a more permanent basis you can contact Ray Kemp, and he will send an email to the members to see if someone is available and willing - no guarantee!. His contact details are:
