| A Bridge Too Far? |
You may have read an item in the recent Bridge News concerning Richmond Bridge Club. They claimed to be the bridge club that is closest to a bridge that bears the same name, as their venue is 450 metres to the end of Richmond Bridge as the crow flies. This was too much for our Chairman who fired off a letter to the EBU stating our claim for the record. As a result Simon Cocheme, the author of the item is coming to visit on March 23rd to measure the distance. He will also be playing with Giles for the evening event.so please give him a welcome.

The software used for scoring has been updated. An additional section has been added to continually backup the results and to enable restarts without losing any results. This means that the unfortunate consequences to the January 3rd breakdown when the data were lost cannot be repeated.

| About Our Club |
 |
Goring & Streatley Bridge Club is a small and friendly club that meets once a week to play competitive (ie duplicate) bridge. We normally have about 10 tables each time we meet and play in Goring Village Hall on most Mondays (including bank holidays) in the year. We start playing at 7.00pm and aim to finish by 10.00pm, having played 24 hands. Our players mostly come from the twin villages of Goring and Streatley, and from the neighbouring towns and villages such as Pangbourne, Upper Basildon, Whitchurch and Wallingford.
We welcome visitors at any time of the year, and, in summer, we are particularly pleased to see bridge players who are enjoying a boating holiday on the River Thames. Goring Village Hall is situated 100 yards from the River Thames that separates the villages of Goring and Streatley in the picturesque Goring Gap (see picture above). If you do intend to pay us a visit please let the club secretary know beforehand. The club secretary's telephone number is published on the 'Committee' page on this website.
