Practice Sessions on Wednesday evenings and Thursday afternoons

Practice sessions are held on Wednesday evenings at Victoria Park, starting at 7.00pm. These are intended for our newer players who have completed one of the training courses and now need to get more experience of playing bridge, but are open to anyone who wants a practice game. Run by Ian Howard and you can just turn up and play, you don't need a partner. If you need any further details, please contact Ian on ian.uphambarton@gmail.com

Practice sessions are also held on Thursday afternoons at Newcourt Community Centre, from 1.30pm to 3.30pm. Same criteria as above. Contact for these is Jeremy Child on jeremy.m.child@gmail.com

Realbridge duplicate pairs sessions - Friday Afternoons

YOU CAN FIND THE PLAYER LINK UNDER THE REALBRIDGE TAB ON THE MAIN MENU.

 Table Money for Exeter Bridge Club RealBridge Sessions is £2.50 for a member and £3 for non-members 

All players will be contacted with details on how payment should be made

Payment will NOT be taken on the RealBridge platform

RealBridge allows you to see and talk to the players at your table, which gives it a real "club" feel – all very different from the existing bridge websites which rely on messaging and feel much less social. All you need to play is a desktop, laptop, or tablet which ideally has a WebCam so that other players can see you when you play (the webcam is not essential but does make the event more sociable). The system is very user-friendly, and even if you have never played before online you should find it very easy to use. All our players are welcome to play in all RealBridge sessions. 

If you feel unsure whether you have the technology and skills to play, please contact Tony Rusbridge who should be able to give you any necessary advice and reassurance. If you would like to play but do not have a partner please use our partner finding system which is here. You can also enter individually and the director will assign you a partner on the day if there is one available.

Sessions on Fridays @3pm 

You can enter to play here - registration IS REQUIRED for the first time you play as we need to have your contact details for collection of payment
