Venue and Weekly Sessions

Every Monday evening at 7pm we hold a F2F duplicate pairs session at Barrowby Memorial Hall. 

Tuesday evening at 6:45 pm we are holding a Duplicate session on Realbridge.  

We run a Gentle Duplicate pairs session every Wednesday morning at 9.45am on Bridge Base Online (BBO)

A Next Steps session is held every Wednesday morning at 9:30am at Barrowby Reading Rooms.  We welcome all players who want to gain confidence and develop their Bridge under the supervision of experienced players in a relaxed and friendly environment. No partner required.

Every Thursday afternoon at 1.45pm, we hold a Friendly Duplicate session on RealBridge.

For RealBridge, we are pleased to tell you that we have several club members  who are very willing to support anyone needing advice on getting the best use of Realbridge to suit their needs.  Links to the RealBridge Player Guide and their camera/microphone test page are in the panel below the EBU Master Points Promotions Panel to the right, and it is recommended that players new to RealBridge have a look at these.  Members who would still like additional support should contact us at granthambridgeclub@gmail.com.

Winner of the Wednesday Individual Cup (February 7th) - Liz Jackson

Liz was a worthy winner of this online competition where players had random partners throughout. Jennie has presented her with the cup after Liz let it be known she plans to return to Thailand at the beginning of April and therefore will not be here for the AGM on Monday, 13 May 2024. We wish Liz many happy years in Thailand and we look forward to keeping in touch as she plans to continue to play on BBO on Wednesdays and Realbridge on Thursday afternoons.
