Welcome to Hatfield Heath Bridge Club
About the Club
About the Club

Hatfield Heath Bridge Club has been in existence for over 50 years. It originated in the homes of a group of friends in the neighbouring village of Little Hallingbury and expanded into the Institute Hall and then again into the well appointed village hall at Hatfield Heath.

The objective of the club is to play competitive bridge in a friendly atmosphere.  We cater for different levels of skill, with all assured of a friendly welcome.

We have been operating our own version of the EBU’s Better Behaviour at Bridge since opening and the emphasis being upon friendliness, our Directors are instructed to interpret the rules (where possible) in the most lenient of ways.

There have been some recent changes to the BLUE BOOK which is the handbook of EBU Permitted Understandings.  These changes are outlined in the Ask Robin section on pages 34/35 of the September 2022 edition of the EBU magazine that all members received and is available in the magazine archive on the EBU website.

The changes involve what bids are announced or alerted and what defines a strong opening bid.  The article explains these changes in detail.

There is a summary chart on the EBU website that details what bids need alerting or announcing.
