REGULAR EVENTS

 MONDAY TEAMS EVENTS

SUMMER 2025

On the first, third and fifth Mondays of every month (but skipping Bank Holidays) we run a teams game live at Cheltenham Bridge Club. Teams can turn up unannounced and they will be incorporated.

Over the summer the set of eight sessions will be run as a handicap event, with the handicap for each player being determined by whatever scores they have so far achieved in the series. The handicap for the team will be 75% of the average imp score so far of the players concerned.  (The first session everyone will play off scratch).  It will be the team/players who improve most who will come out on top.

The series is an individual competition, with every player receiving an award - after handicaps are applied, one point for members of the team which comes last, two for the next to last etc, with the top award depending on the number of teams playing.
 

  MONDAY PAIRS

SUMMER 2025

On the second and fourth Mondays of every month (but skipping Bank Holidays) we run an online Pairs League on Realbridge.  The first session is Monday 12th May. Pairs are assigned to multiple divisions and move up and down each week. It is easy to incorporate new pairs at any point. If interested email pairs-league@gcba.org.uk.   Full details 

 

Specially for less experienced players - there is a page on the EBU website dedicated to games for you - click here
