| Archway Bridge Club - Now at the Chepstow Club |
CABC now meets at The Chepstow Club, 10 Moor St, Chepstow, NP16 5DD
We are a friendly, enthusiastic club, offering a warm welcome to new members of any standard.
The Chepstow Club is a venue in the heart of Chepstow that offers opportunity for refreshments during and after our duplicate sessions.
To avoid the tedium of hand-shuffling, as well as enabling subsequent analysis of the hands, we deal all our boards with a computer.
We meet every Monday, starting promptly at 6:45 p.m. and playing between 24 and 28 boards.
Do come and join us. If you need a partner, begin by getting in touch (e-mail archwaysec@outlook.com) – we will find you a partner.
There is some free on-site parking available, but drivers MUST register their cars at reception.

| Chepstow vs Monmouth Teams Match - 11 June 2024 |
 |
On 11 June, Chepstow Bridge Club had the pleasure of hosting Monmouth Bridge Club. During the evening, 16 representatives from both clubs participated in four teams matches over 24 boards, with a break half way through to sample the results of Chepstow’s master baker, Caroline. The players from Chepstow benefitted from more experience in the intricacies of team scoring, gained through the running of intra-club teams’ competitions over the last few years. Consequently, despite some excellent card play from the visitors, Chepstow emerged victorious, although all matches were close. Let’s hoped that this match is the first of many between Chepstow and other local bridge clubs. The boards from the match are available on the Results page.

| Ray and Sheila retain the Cross-IMPs trophy |
 |
On Monday 24 June, Ray Mardon and Shelia Montgomery defended their cross-IMPs crown, winning this 28-board competition with a very healthy 46.2 IMPs. In this form of scoring, which favours replicating the approach taken in team matches, this winning pair put in a very solid performance, with a win that’s not attributed to simply substantial success on a handful of boards. They bid no slam (no slams were bid and made that night), but were involved in four doubled contracts that produced noteworthy swings and netted them a total of 15.1 IMPs.
