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 |
 Congratulations to Alex and Warren on claiming top spot for the next seven days by putting a couple of percentage points between themselves and the big beasts of Simon and Richard You can just see Alex in the distance and if you stand closer to your laptop screen it reduces the parallax effect a bit and gives better definition.

Midweek Maestros |
 
Congratulations to Paul and Elizabeth for achieving not only top spot and therefore entering the Hall of Fame but also for joining a very tiny elite of father and daughter partnerships to have done it. It was just last week that they got a special shout out for finishing second and, no, they didn't read about it just like everybody else in the Club but maybe this week they will. The bridge gods must have foreseen the moment for it was only today that the Webmaster finally captured Paul and Elizabeth in the baleful eye of his camera and thereby avoided an unwanted first of posting session winners with no accompanying mugshots.
Finally another first was only narrowly avoided on the final table of the afternoon. Carolyn and Shirley who had thus far managed to somehow avoid playing in contract even once up until that point threw away their chance of dining out on the story for years to come when Carolyn ruined everything by playing both of the boards in contract. Shirley's notable duck remained intact however and will take a lot of beating the Webmaster suspects.
