Gentle Bridge Tuesday
Gentle Bridge Tuesday

Our Gentle Bridge Tuesday afternoon sessions are played in a friendly and informal environment.

A typical session is about 7 tables of EBU accredited Bridge, with Master Points awarded.

Each first Tuesday of the month we focus on a particular topic (see "Tuesday Topics" tab).  After a quick introduction we will play and score 16 pre-dealt hands on the topic, with time to review/discuss the bidding/play as part of the improvement process.

We will ensure everyone has a partner, so all are welcome.

Hannaford & Smyth Results

We played our annual matches against Cheltenham on 7 November, unfortunately losing both the Hannaford and Smyth.
Thank you to everyone who represented our Club.
