The Club played the Winter Sims Competition on Monday January 13th

Alan and Olivia Woo came second from the 297 pairs entering from 21 clubs with a score of 68.44%

Congratulations to them

Following the January 5th bridge evening the club computer has now been forensically examined. It was found that no results were reported by the Bridgemate Control Software after 9 of the 12 Boards in the 2^nd Round. However we were unable to establish any coherent reason for this breakdown. No results after this unfortunate event were found in the computer so the results remain lost. We apologise for this. However we consider this to have been a one-off event. We are currently considering methods on how to restart the system if this unlikely event occurs again. We ask members to report any unexpected screens observed to the scorer.

Happy New Year at all our bridge players

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.

The Club is affiliated to the English Bridge Union. EBU Masterpoints are awarded at most Club evenings and will be credited directly.

The Club participates in EBU/BGB Simultaneous Pairs events in July, September and January.

The Club is also a member of the Berks & Bucks Contract Bridge Association. Details of County Events are posted on the Club noticeboard.
