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.
