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.

 Congratulations to Charles and Ron. They haven't been seen in these parts for a while so they may almost be considered new faces. Ron looks understandably well pleased about their return to the red carpet whereas Charles has gone for a look that speaks of quiet contentment with a job well done with a side order of 'I knew it was just a question of when rather than if'.

 The House was divided again today but we shall start with the E/W honours because, let steeple bells ring out the good news, we have new faces. Congratulations to Bev and Harry who look well pleased at the prospect of enjoying seven days of all the celebrity lifestyle and admiration of their peers that goes with their splendid achievement. Moreover they did it with the highest percentage on the day which included two small slams.
 Meanwhile over in the N/S seats Richard and Simon continued their routine undemonstrative sure-footed dispatching of almost all who came against them. A few of their challengers took the lion's share on one board out of three but not one E/W pair left their table an overall winner after all three had been played and that's what makes them very hard to beat.
