The weather for our weekend in Paignton  at the  Palace Hotel 17th-20th April 2026 came up trumps. We were joined by some players from Lymington Bridge Club and two inquisitive gulls. Full results on the results pages. Overall winners? The hotel staff. We are planning to return 15-18 October 2027. More information and pictures on the Club Weekend Page.
The next weekend is in Salisbury October 9-12 2026. More details here
