| Welcome to the Dovercourt Contract Bridge Club website. |
The club was founded in 1959 and currently has 34 members. We meet twice a week, on Monday afternoons we play Chicago and on Thursday evenings we play Duplicate.
New members are always welcome, with or without partners.
We also have a close relationship with the Hook of Holland (Hoekse) Bridge Club. Every September we play them for the Zeeland Cup, an arrangement that has been ongoing for 37 years.
Following the 2024 competition the Hoekse Bridge Club hold the trophy.

| Suffolk Bridge AGM Pairs |
The Suffolk Bridge AGM was held at Elmswell on Sunday May 17. We had eight entries from Dovercourt players which is quite remarkable. There were thirty entries. The best pair on the day happened to be Bob and Marlene who came third with Barry and Allen just behind in fifth. It was Kay’s very first competition and she throughly enjoyed the experience looking forward to the next event. Thanks to Chris, Simon, Ken and Kay for swapping around to help make a full table.
