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 |
 It makes no difference who he plays with the ice cream man still emerges from the smoke of battle with his combat honours further enhanced. This week he was assisted by the quirky eccentricity that with John passes for a bidding system but somehow seems to work rather well. A return to form for Jacky and Jill who finished second in a reduced bank holiday attendance of 4 1/2 tables and would have been less had it not been for the welcome appearance of Dale and Rowena making their Monday debut. Finally (and this will show the webmaster how many of you actually read this) this week's glitch in the scoring software is its failure to ascribe master points to the scores and the webmaster has no idea why so it'll get booted uphill to the EBU just like last week's puzzle.

Midweek Maestros |
 Familiar faces on top of the Wednesday pile again this week with an eye-watering 77.5% that leaves no doubt about their right to be there. Carolyn and Shirley posted an impressive 64% which on most weeks would have been enough to claim top spot but was still quite good enough to add to their consistent tally of high scores and finishing positions.
