Our Bridge Sessions

We run Duplicate Pairs at the Botanical Society Hall in the Fernkloof Nature Reserve, the De Wet Hall in Onrus and Kidbrooke Place in Onrus North.

The Monday and Wednesday sessions are held at the Botanical Society Hall, the Thursday session is held at Kidbrooke Place and the Friday session is held at the De Wet Hall.

With the exception of Thursday's session, which starts at 13.30, all start promptly at 13.00. Please arrive 10 minutes before the start time.

If you're running late, you must let the session organiser know or you may be turned away. The session organiser's name is in the Calendar.

Unfortunately, we don't run a Host system so please bring a partner! If you need help finding a partner then call Denise on 063 444 4098.

The sessions are Match Point scored (ie standard Pairs), except the first Wednesday and third Monday of each month are X-IMP'd scored (ie scored as Teams).

 

We offer online bridge, in association with BfA (Bridge for Africa), via BBO on Tuesday's at 14.00. You can register from 12.00 until 13.50 by searching via 'Competitive', 'All tournaments', and typing BfA in the search bar.

We can help with creating a BBO account and playing online.

Please contact our Head of Online Bridge, Rita, on rita.raubenheimer@gmail.com or 082 448 3838 to find out more about playing online with us and assistance with BBO.

Partner Finder

We have a Partner Finder WhatsApp group for Members and Associates. Please contact a Committee member if you'd like to be included.

Otherwise message/call Denise on 063 444 4098 and she will try to find you an available partner.
