| Mini Duplicate |

If you can pre-arrange a partner please do, but if not, then there will be plenty of opportunity for people to play without a partner.

| EDLT&CC — BRIDGE SECTION |
 The East Dorset Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club – founded in 1909 – is set in a secluded five-acre site close to Poole Harbour and the renowned Sandbanks peninsula. It has a reputation for being one of the largest and friendliest clubs in the area and is solely managed by its members.
The EDLT&CC Bridge Section is equally renowned for its tea breaks! We believe that this has created an atmosphere, unique in the area, where members come to enjoy playing bridge together.
Non-members may visit the Club up to four times a year on Monday evenings or Friday afternoons and are welcome to attend any of the Bridge courses.
The Club plays Chicago and Duplicate Bridge:
- Monday evening is for Soft Duplicate (hosts are available) - 6.30pm for a 6.45pm start - £2 table money, £3 for non-members
- Tuesday afternoon, for improvers, is Chicago - 2pm onwards - £1 table money, £2 for non-members
- Wednesday evening is Duplicate for pre-arranged partnerships, £2 table money - 6.30pm for a 6.45pm start.
