HDBS is closed for the foreseeable future.

Re-opening will be announced here in due course.

The attendance since the end of July has averaged 4 tables per session.

In an effort to increase numbers, the committee has decided to trial hosting.

Each committee member has agreed to host these sessions when necessary.

So, if you find yourself without a partner and fancy a game, please turn up for guaranteed participation.

At the end of the trial period we will assess the effect to determine whether we continue or not. *** Extended indefinitely ***

Please support us, remember ‘its only a game’.

Volunteers to host will be welcomed.

Welcome to the Henfield Duplicate Bridge Society web site.  The club meets for duplicate bridge every Thursday afternoon at the Henfield Hall, Henfield.  Click "information" for a  map and details.  Visitors are always welcome, even to club competition sessions.  Join us for a competitive, friendly game of bridge on Thursday afternoons. We look forward to seeing you.

HDBS undertakes to collect and use your personal data in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our legal basis for processing this data is our legitimate interest as a bridge club. We use the data for the administration of your membership, the communication of information and the organisation of events.                          

This information will be recorded in our membership database, which is stored online in compliance with the GDPR. Our membership data is shared with the English Bridge Union, the governing body of the game of duplicate bridge, and they will pass it on to your “county of affiliation” which is usually the club’s primary county bridge association. 

A limited amount of your information (name, EBU number, county, post town) will be listed in the EBU’s database made available for use by scoring program providers and users. This is to allow the correct identification of players for scoring purposes.

Information relating to your National Grading Scheme (NGS) grade and master point rank, together with your county of affiliation, will be generally available from the EBU website unless you have chosen for it to be private. You can do this by logging on to My EBU > Account > My Details at www.ebu.co.uk/members.

Your data may be processed by Bridgewebs that act as Data Processors on our behalf. They may only use it for the specific purposes for which they act as our data processors and they are not free to pass this on to other organisations that are not connected with HDBS.
