GREEN POINTED SWISS PAIRS - 20th September 2026 - Barleylands starting at 12 noon

Lock Your Seats In!

The Green Points Are Calling... Will You Answer?

To participate in this event, there is good news and bad news..... isn't there always?

First, the bad news (I always prefer news this way round):

To play in this event, it will cost you £25 PER PERSON — yes, you heard that right, £25 PER PERSON!

Now here is the good news! If you don't want to spend £25 participating in a fantastic bridge event that is Green Pointed, we've done some research for you and you can always...

Buy a ticket to the Globe Theatre (Standing only for that price!)

Buy a Clip ’n Climb ticket at a boulder park (Sounds like fun, no?)

Buy a dumbbell set and spend the day at home working out alone.

OR... you can spend that exact same £25 on a thrilling, brain-melting, high-stakes day of tournament bridge where you can actually take home those glorious, coveted Green Points!

The choice is yours: sore feet at the theatre, sore muscles at the gym, or pure card-playing glory.

If you think £25 is expensive, try bidding a grand slam missing two aces. Now THAT is costly.

Payment:  Sort code: 20-72-89 - A/c No: 63373487
