COUNTY BRIDGE CLUB HOLIDAY

Makeney Hall Hotel, Makeney Road, Milford, Belper, Derbyshire DE56 0RS

Monday 10 March to Friday 14 March 2025

We are delighted to announce that we are re-introducing our successful bridge holidays and will be visiting Derbyshire and staying at Makeney Hall Hotel http://www.makeneyhallhotel.co.uk situated in six acres of landscaped gardens with countryside views. The hotel is a 15-minute drive from Derby and close to the town of Belper.

The holiday is open to all bridge players; it is not necessary to be a member of any club or county association to participate. It is designed to be fun for all from the inexperienced to regular club players. The holiday is also open to non-bridge players.

Our director for the holiday is Steve Wright who will be assisted by his wife Anne.

For outings there is a bus service nearby to Derby, Belper, Ripley and more. There are many tourist attractions nearby, which include Chatsworth House, Crich Railway Village and The Peak District or Matlock, Bakewell and Buxton and many others which can easily be reached by car, the bus services or taxi.

The basic cost is £355 per person if sharing a room (twin or double) and for single occupancy rooms £495. All rooms have en suite bathrooms with bath and/or shower. Please indicate on booking form if you require walk-in shower.

The price indicated includes the following:

   •   Half-board accommodation. 3-course dinner to be served at 6.00pm so that we can start our evening bridge by 7.15pm – 7.30pm.

•   On site complimentary parking.

•   Gratuities for hotel staff.

•   Seminars on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings.

   •  Bridge on Monday evening followed by 2 sessions of bridge on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday for those who wish to play in the afternoon as well as the evening.

            •   Masterpoints and prizes to be awarded.

•   We cannot guarantee a host to all sessions so please ensure, when booking, that you have a bridge partner. 

•  Travel cost to the hotel and return is not included and you will have to make your own way. Please indicate on the booking form if you are willing to take others in your car. Alternatively, if you are wanting to share a taxi, this on prices quoted is cheaper than the cost of coach travel, and nearer the time, say towards end of January please advise if you are still seeking transport.

•  We strongly recommend that you take out insurance in the event of cancellation as we cannot guarantee refund. We will however, wherever possible, try and find replacements should it be necessary to cancel on your part.
