The Christmas Party is on Wednesday, December 11 (see notice immediately below this one).   Due to the size of the room we cannot accommodate more than 80 people.   We have asked people to sign up and pay in advance this year and at the time of writing 72 have places reserved.   Please sign up (and pay) soon if you intend to come.  Places will be waitlisted once our list reaches 80.   Please bring raffle prizes to any session between now and December 11.  All proceeds will go to Chichester Boys Club, a deserving LOCAL charity.

On Sunday 6^th October Chichester Bridge Club celebrated Mary Esson’s 100^th birthday with a splendid “Bridge Tea” attended by 34 members.  The afternoon started with a toast before a number of hands were played, followed by tea.  Mary’s son Frank and daughter-in-law Joanna joined the party for tea.

Mary joined the club in the Eighties and played with a great many partners during the course of her bridge career.  Unfortunately, not all were able to join her, but those who did enjoyed a very pleasant afternoon

As a thank you for all the hard work and commitment Judy and Liz have put into running and maintaining the Saturday night bridge, we showed our appreciation! We had six tables and it was a great evening. Fun, informal and of course with ‘Fizz’ !

These popular sessions are held on the second and fourth Friday of each month starting at 3.30pm.  Please try to arrive between 3.15 and 3.30pm and not earlier.

No Fear Duplicate Bridge is a fun and friendly session for new and relatively new duplicate players run by Leigh Harding on the 2^nd and 4^th Fridays of the month. It provides an opportunity to gain experience in playing in duplicate events and has proved to be a popular event for inexperienced players.  Students in year 2 and above are welcome to join in the duplicate session or if preferred can join the separate practice tables (booking for practice tables essential – click on following link for further information and booking details: http://www.nofearbridge.co.uk/chichesterbc.html

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.
