Ipswich & Kesgrave Bridge Club
Mondays and Thursdays at 7:00pm
Monday Relaxed Pairs: online on BBO or face-to-face at Kesgrave Community Centre, Ipswich, both sessions start at 7:00pm. The same boards are played and all participants receive follow-up notes on the deals, distributed by email, usually within two days.
Thursday Club Pairs: also on BBO or face-to-face in the Ropes Hall, Kesgrave Community Centre, Ipswich. Both sessions start at 7:00pm and although the results are separate, all participants play the same deals.
Visitors: always welcome, for any session we run. Before your first session you must register with us; see the Visitor Information Form. Online players for Monday or Thursday can use the respective links from the Online Bridge Club box, right.
At Kesgrave we run a cashless system for collecting table money and players are billed for sessions played at the end of each month.
If you need a partner, check our Partnership Desk. Non-members can be contacted by emailing Anne Edwards for their contact details – before 1:00pm on the day in question if possible.
Any questions, about any format, please let us know, we're here to help.
Tyler Hill Match: 3rd December: Ipswich Win - Just!
This was the fifth in our continuing (roughly) annual series against Tyler Hill (previously Jan & Dec 2022, Nov 2023, Dec 2024). Last night's narrow win, 83-77, puts Ipswich in the lead, 3-2. Ipswich won five of the eight matches last night but a strong second half saw Tyler Hill put on a lot of IMPs in matches where they held advantage, actually ending with more IMPs overall (238-226). Nevertheless the Victory Point scale favoured I&K: full details in the calendar, with recent result or here.
Many of the Tyler Hill players join our online Thursdays and I'm sure there will be another match next year - look out for it. They'll be an additional opportunity next May, as Chichester BC have challenged us.
Autumn Charity Week
The four sessions in the week beginning Monday 17th had a total of 40 tables (21 on Monday, 19 on Thurday). It's true that there was the odd robot or two but the club has subbed them and we are pleased to announce that we will be donating £400 to St Elizabeth Hospice (as below).
The merged rankings have been submitted for Master Point awards (and Thursday's NGS) though the separate scores count toward club competitions.
