Want to Play but don't have a partner

Perhaps you are new to the Bridge club or a regular member whose partner is unavailable one evening. What to do? If it is our Thursday or Saturday evening session there should be no problem as we run a host system and if you come along to the session, preferably a few minutes earlier, we should be able to arrange a partner. For other sessions there are people who may be able to help you find a partner.

Our Tuesday Partners contact is Mary Sharp tel. 07879 828304

please note Tuesday sessions start at 3.30pm and you should not arrive before 3.15pm. Greater care must be taken driving through the playground at this time as there may be pupils present

Random Seeded Teams

This competition will take place on the fourth Thursday of each month from October to June. In December, the proximity of the fourth Thursday to Christmas day may mean the bridge club is closed and the competition will not run that month. It is proving very popular but for administration purposes and to ensure we do not end up with an odd number of pairs you must sign on the notice board to indicate you wish to take part by the Monday preceding the event. The current scores can be seen under the "Competition" menu and "Random Seeded Teams Points".

Which Session?

The bridge sessions at Chichester club are diverse and hopefully cater to the desires of all our members.

Monday and Thursday evenings are our strongest sessions. 27 boards played. No partner is needed on a Thursday except the 4th Thursday in the month (see below).

The fourth Thursday each month is a Teams session for players of all abilities. Top pairs are randomly paired with less experienced pairs to give an interesting evening. However, for this session you must sign up in advance on the sheet in the clubroom.

Saturday evenings and Tuesday afternoons are more relaxed and 24 boards played.

New bi monthly ‘No Fear Duplicate Bridge’ Friday session started Jan 2017. This session is for students and newcomers to duplicate bridge and we initially expect to play only 15-18 boards. No partner needed for these sessions.

All our sessions are open to all members. Those who are new to bridge or less experienced will probably want to start with the Friday, Saturday or Tuesday session. Visitors new to the club are welcome to trial each session until they find the session(s) most appropriate or exceed six attendances, at which point they would be invited to join. Though the bridge standard varies enormously dependent on the session chosen, we want all members to enjoy their bridge and we expect all members to adhere to Best Behaviour at Bridge at every session.
