Framlingham BC is a small friendly and relaxed Duplicate Bridge Club established in 1977. The club is affiliated to the Suffolk Contract Bridge Association (SCBA) and to the English Bridge Union (EBU) and membership of the club automatically enrolls you as a member of the two higher parent organisations. The annual club membership of £5.00 covers membership of the other two. Please see 'Information' in the menu panel for further details times etc.
Monday afternoons. This session is intended for experienced players but don't let the word 'experienced' put you off. The average standard of Monday players is NGS 7or 8 and our two highest rated players are a modest NGS 10. So long as you can play a solid no frills game you'll be winning trophies here in no time.
Wednesday afternoons This is a duplicate session with fewer (usually 18) boards played than on Monday afternoons. EBU master points are not awarded because we take a more relaxed view of the laws of the game and there is a less competitive atmosphere in order to help and encourage less experienced players who wish to improve or to provide a gentle reintroduction to the game for those who may not have played for a while. It's also there for members who seek no more than an social afternoon of bridge. There is no obligation to move up to play on Mondays although we hope this will happen naturally as Wednesday players become more experienced. Some Monday players also play on Wednesdays but do so in the relaxed ethos of the session. We do not at present offer teaching at any level so you must be able to play at least a basic game in order to take part. Feel free to drop in on your own to watch a bit of play and get a feel for the club, existing club members have done just that before deciding to join us.
All visitors are welcome but you will need to come with a partner or please contact Richard Goble on 07765910637 or Glyn Button 01728 831647 and they will try to find you a partner via the Club's WhatsApp group because we almost always have a club member who is in need of one.

Monday Monarchs |
 Finally a result for national rejoicing to exceed even that which will surely follow if England against all the odds manage to win the football world cup without Martin Peters, Nobby Stiles or Bobby Charllton, et al in the squad. Jill is positively glowing with self-satisfaction and even the Webmaster has momentarily broken off reading a very early 1957 edition of Andrew Robson's now little-remembered 'Slam Bidding for Small Boys in Short Trousers' to grace the home page with the merest hint of a smile of satisfaction.

Groundhog Day has been avoided - but not by much - and it took the playing power of the previously all-conquering pair of Carolyn and Shirley to knock Stuart and Stanley off their Wednesday pedestal. More credit to them for doing so because Shirley was decidedly under the weather all afternoon but refused to be beaten either by whatever ailed her or by the rest of us.
