Joining Helensburgh Bridge Club

We are always keen to have new members play with us at our club or online, using the RealBridge system. We are delighted that you have arrived here with the intention of joining us! HBC Membership is for a year, starting at the beginning of September and costs £10. When you join we will register you with the Scottish Bridge Union (SBU) and pay your joining fee, so that you have access to the tournaments and bridge education that they offer.

Starting in the Autumn season 2023, we will be charging 'table money' of £1.50 for RealBridge games and £3 for games played at the club. You pay on a 'pay-per-play' system, where we send you a charge for your games played at the end of each month and payments that you make are deducted to give you a debit or credit balance. You can see the details of your games played, any charges (including subscription and 'one-off' charity or Sims games), payments and your balance in your member account on the website.

Our club nights are Tuesday at the Rosslea House Hotel Rhu,  and Thursday evenings as a virtual club playing RealBridge on these evenings. If you haven't already found them, you can find details of where and when we play here: Where and when page
