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, especially important for visitors, please refer to the Information pages. To contact somebody at the club, please refer to the Contact Us page or the Committee page.
