As with many other bridge clubs, Collier Row Bridge Club will be temporarily closed during the Coronavirus emergency. This is to help with the national effort aimed at slowing down infection rates, particularly in view of the risk of transmitting infection through bidding boxes that are handled by many different people during the course of a session. An announcement will be made as soon as we are ready to open again. This will probably not be for at least 6 weeks (until May). The AGM will need to be rescheudled and the new date will be announced as soon as possible.

 Welcome to the Collier Row Bridge Club web site. 

Collier Row Bridge Club is a constituent section of the North Romford Community Association and operates within the terms of the NRCA constitution (please see the information section of this website for a copy of the NRCA constitution and further information about the NRCA). Membership of the club is obtained by becoming a member of the NRCA. Current annual subscriptions are £20 for an individual (£16 if a Senior Citizen) and £35 for a family.

Bridge is played at the North Romford Community Centre, Clockhouse Lane, Collier Row RM5 3QJ, on Thursdays at 7.30pm. We use bridgemate scoring and results are on display at the end of the session.  

Visitors are welcome to all club nights except for the the prearranged Teams competition night on the first Thursday of March each year. On any other competition nights, visitors are welcome to play however pairs of visitors will not be eligible to win any prize or trophy - with the possible exception of the Random Teams, where any team with at least 2 members in it will be deemed eligible. (Please see the competitions section of this site for the scheduled competition dates). Table money is £4 for members and £6 for non-members, however individual visitors playing with a member (including those booking the host) can benefit from members rates for the first three visits.

There is free parking on site, and a licensed bar with subsidised prices is available for use by centre users (including Bridge club members and visitors).

Unfortunately, playing of the Club Teams of 4 on 5th March had to be abandoned due to the failure of one pair to turn up. The competition was played instead on 12th March, although there were only two teams. The winners were Stella Holland and Bob Robinson, Kit Charlton and Robert Elliott and the runners up Maureen Huntingford and Sue Sayer, Frank Hall and John Sayer.
