| Welcome to Grantham Bridge Club |
We are an EBU club and part of the Leicestershire CBA. We play club duplicate bridge, teams and other competitions. During the COVID 19 pandemic we temporarily suspended our usual face to face session, but from 6th September we are back to Face to Face (F2F) Bridge sessions on a Monday evening at 7pm at Barrowby Sports Pavilion. We will continue to run our Virtual Online Bridge Club using both Bridge Base Online (BBO) and RealBridge. New members are welcome to play online, but please complete the Membership Application Form.
