| Social Bridge: last Sunday in the month |
We've renamed 'Duplicake' to 'Social Bridge (with cake)' which is held on the last Sunday of each month. 18 boards are played and there is a break for refreshments. Players of all ability are very welcome, there's no longer any need to pre-register and if you don't have a partner that's OK as the host will arrange for someone to play with you, so just turn up at the Clubhouse 10 minutes before the 2pm start.
