An evening of brilliant bridge gamesmanship will begin on Thursday 24 October when you and your partner can outwit your opponents on every board.

The laws of Duplicate bridge will apply and most importantly, we expect best behaviour at the bridge table.

Arrive at 6.45 for a 7 pm start. This is not a hosted event.

We have 2 competitions coming up next month

Firstly is the Minnie Owen Improvers pairs- this is open to members with an NGS ranking of 5 or lower at the time of registration. If you are unsure of your NGS rank it is available in the 'members' section of the website, via My EBU or is on the bottoms of e-mails you get from the club with your results

The Minnie Owen will take place on Tuesday 12th November

Next is the revised Pivot teams. We need an even number of teams to run this event so pre-registration is required. Please note this is not a 'board competition' but winners will receive a prize at the AGM. If the event is successful then we will look at making it an official club competition for the 2025-26 season

The Pivot teams will take place on Monday 18th November

Please contact Andrew Hardy if you wish to take part in either event or reply to the e-mail that is being sent out

Congratulations to Grant, Stuart, Keith & Moira who won the Teams of 4! Unfortunately we forgot to take a winners photo on the night!

Well done to Chris, Tony, Andrew & Martin who came 2nd, and Joan, Shirley, Keith & Edwina who came third

Thanks to Sue & Marie who came at short notice to make up the 7th team
