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.

Any questions, about any format, please let us know, we're here to help.

Summer is Here!

The club year runs October to September and winter last seven months, ending in April – or at least, that's when the Winter Handicap completes. Congratulations to Barrie Minns and John Skinner, joint winners for 2025-26. The Summer Handicap started in May and this month, the Ladies, Mens and Mixed Pairs begin.

Recognising that absences and ad hoc partnerships are more common over the summer months, this year qualifying sessions are increased from five to eight – still with three best scores to qualify. So there is more of an opportunity to qualify – and for more than one.

Groups run in the Lowestoft, Bury and Ipswich areas. We also run online groups for those unable to attend in-person. We are especially keen to reach family carers, anyone managing a long term condition, depression or anxiety, and anyone who thinks singing with others might lift their spirits.
