Message from the Chairman.

To members and friends of Folkestone Duplicate Bridge Club 

At our recent AGM I was pleased to be elected as your Chairman for 2025. May I start by thanking David Ellerby our outgoing Chairman. David has served our club extremely well over the last 10 years and I wish him well in his ‘sort of’ retirement. I write ‘sort of’ because he will continue to direct sessions and will be on hand to answer my many queries in the coming months. Whilst I do not have bridge gravitas ( I’m only a beginner with 8 years experience) I do have lots of chairmanship experience, common sense and, most importantly, I have inherited a very competent committee. As a committee we will strive to maintain the club at the high standard our members have come to expect. 

With best wishes

Jan Stanyon

FDBC Chairman

Do you need a partner?

The club operates a partner finding service.

If you are looking for a partner please email Ruth (ruthnmal@hotmail.com) or phone her on  07538 426180 at least 24 hours in advance, that is by 2.00 pm on Sunday for face-to-face or by 7.00 pm on Wednesday for our online games. The earlier you let Ruth know, the more likely it is that a partner will be found for you. You will be notified by Ruth either by noon on Monday or by 3.00 pm on Thursday with your partner's details. In the case of online on a Thursday, please ensure that you enter the competition on the website by 4.00 pm in the normal way.

Please note that the electronic partner finding system that we trialled  on this website is no longer available.
