Bridge Xmas Party

Wednesday December 18th at Newcourt - 1.00pm-5.00pm - Chicago session - Mulled Wine and Mince Pies!

This year’s Christmas party will be held on the afternoon of Wednesday 18th December from 1pm to 5pm, in the Green room at Newcourt Community Centre.

To make it more sociable, we will be playing Chicago bridge.  It has the scoring you’re used to, but is not duplicate. This means there is no time pressure, and players can join the event when they wish to, take a break for mince pies  and mulled wine  when it suits them, and leave when they want to.

You can bring a partner if you wish, or just turn up and take pot luck. You can even play with different partners!

And there is no charge for the party or bridge!

See you there

Father Christmas

Need a Partner? - Hosting at Exeter Bridge Club

 Do you sometimes want to play face-to-face bridge at Exeter Bridge Club on a Tuesday evening, but don’t have a partner, perhaps because your regular partner is away or because you don’t have a regular partner?  Well, we have a list of “hosts”, who can be contacted before a session (preferably at least a day before) and will either partner you or pair you with someone else also seeking a partner.

 This has worked reasonably well over the past 18 months, but we have relied heavily on a few good members and could do with more volunteers to act as host every now and then.  If you could offer to be host for one or more of the Tuesday sessions over the coming months, please let me know.  You only need to turn up for the session if contacted beforehand, so you wouldn’t have a wasted journey. Please contact Neville Lane by email to nevilleslane@gmail.com or by phone to 07496 392106 if you can volunteer. Thank you.

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
