(...oh, and we play Bridge between bites)

Welcome to Our Club!

The Strettons Bridge club is a friendly and informal club and we are  always happy to welcome new members of all abilities or accommodate those who might just want to come along and watch/ or play before deciding! No obligation.... the first attendance is free and we can guarantee a partner on that occasion if needed. Regular members requiring a partner for the forthcoming play usually post on our 'What's App' page (SBC looking for partners group). There are usually one or two such posts per week.

Membership is £10/year.  Play on Thursday is £2 (members) or £3 (non members). Tea/coffee (and often delicious cake) free!

Play starts at 1pm sharp, but please turn up by 12.50 to enable the director to set up the right movement.

If you have any queries concerning the above then please contact Patricia on 07900 840614

Or e-mail Dom (dwbridge@hotmail.co.uk) to chat about learning Bridge.

THE CLUB

You are very welcome at our club!
The STRETTONS BRIDGE CLUB meets every Thursday at 12.45 in All Stretton Village Hall for a relaxed, enjoyable and informal session of duplicate bridge.  We welcome players of all levels, including beginners, so long as you know the basics (and if you don't but would like to, see the "Tuition" tab in the left-hand menu).  Feel free to bring crib notes or ask Dom or Martin or Tony for advice at any stage during the bidding or play.  No need to bring a partner - we have a host system.  This is a Club that prioritises support for less experienced players.  Those seeking a more competitive or ambitious environment might prefer alternative options.
