Welcome to Colchester Castle Bridge Club
SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING HELD ON 13 OCTOBER 2026

 

Our Special General Meeting was held today to vote on the motion: 

Would members like the Committee to pursue a switch of premises to Kingsland Church in Lexden.

Including proxy votes, 27 members voted in favour, 9 against and 2 abstained.

The motion was, therefore, carried.

FACE TO FACE BRIDGE TUESDAYS

Face to face bridge sessions are held at the Quaker House on Tuesdays, please arrive by 1.15pm to enable a start to be made promptly at 1.30pm .The Director will arrange for the tournament to finish by 4.45pm

Please arrive early and help set up tables, chairs, etc.

The table-money is £4 per member & £4 per visitor player for each session. 

Visitors do not pay table-money. A visitor's partner will pay for them. Visiting pairs must identify a member who is paying for them to the treasurer (if present), otherwise the Tournament Director must be informed of the identity of the visiting pair and the member sponsoring them. Visitors should ultimately become members of the Club, paying the joining fee of £5.

The table-money is £1 per player for each session. 

Visitors do not pay table-money. A visitor's partner will pay for them. Visiting pairs must identify a member who is paying for them to the treasurer (if present), otherwise the Tournament Director must be informed of the identity of the visiting pair and the member sponsoring them.

MONEY ON ACCOUNT

A member becomes liable for table money after playing in on line or face to face sessions, and, that member's account is charged with the appropriate amount.

When a member makes a payment it is credited to that member's account.

If members want to know about their account with the club, or, want to know how to make payments, please contact the Treasurer

ccbc_treasurer@btinternet.com

CAR PARKING AT QUAKER HOUSE

There are up to 3 spaces available to the Club but, as they can also be taken up by other users of the Quaker House, there can be no guarantee that all (or indeed any) will be free at any given time.
 

In addition there are 3 Blue Badge parking spaces (with no time restrictions) on Church Street (outside the Colchester Arts Centre) and the Committee asks members who qualify to park there to do so before using any spaces at the QH.

Any member who comes by car and hopes to park at the QH or outside the Arts Centre should arrive early and be prepared with an alternative plan in case no spaces are available.
