Players are requested to be seated at least 10 minutes before the scheduled start of play at 7:15pm.  Help provided by players arriving earlier than this to arrange the room is much appreciated.

If you've got any comments or questions on this web-site, please contact the WebMaster.

Welcome to the Crawley Bridge Club web-site

The club meets on Wednesdays and Fridays for a 7:15 start at Grattons Indoor Bowls Club (off Grattons Drive in Three Bridges) to play duplicate pairs bridge in a friendly and comfortable atmosphere.  Occasionally, we have a teams or individual event.  On Monday evenings, we have an online BBO relaxed duplicate pairs session for less-experienced players.

The club is keen to encourage you to play the great game of bridge.  We run teaching courses for beginners and improvers.   Further information can be found on the Teaching page.

For general information, please refer to the Information pages.  To contact somebody at the club, please refer to the Contact Us page or the Committee page.

Update re bridge on Friday April 10th: We have had enough interest (just) to go ahead with play with 3 tables.  This is numbers critical so if those who have agreed to play can't do so after all, please let me know ASAP.   Also, if you are not on the list, it will not be possible to turn up on the night.  There is no real prospect of getting to four tables and three and a half tables would involve a prohibitively long sit-out.

Spring Compensated Teams

Another much enjoyed event at Crawley was the Spring Compensated Teams held on March 27th.  The very happy winners were Sylvia, Andy, Karina and Lynne, closely followed by the runners up Dave, Kate, Mark and Sue (unfortunately missing from the photo).

Thanks go to Kate for collecting the players' names, Richard J. for arranging the teams and Richard D. for his very capable directing.

SCCBA Charity Simultaneous Pairs

Mervyn

Valentine Pairs

There were 14 mixed pairs in the hotly contested Valentine Pairs!  Although the highest scoring pair was Gill and Judith, the winning mixed pair was George and Helen, with the runners-up Claire and Dave.

Thanks to Richard D. for managing to direct what turned out to be quite a tricky movement.

Winter Compensated Teams

Thanks to Kate collecting 15 teams for our event on Wednesday 21st January, we had our highest attendance ever for a club evening!  Thanks are also due to Mervyn for all his preparation beforehand and his usual capable directing on the night.  Congratulations to the prize-winners pictured below.
