An Art Exhibition on Friday at Abbey Row, and their set-up on Thursday, has the following consequences

1.  Friday's afternoon bridge session is cancelled

2.  Thursday's bridge session will take place in the Coffee Lounge

3.  8 Tables and 32 chairs, etc can be moved into the Coffee Lounge after Wednesday night's session in readiness for Thursday's session.  Depending on the Art set-up, these may be moved back (or not) on Thursday night

The monthly attendance at Kelso Bridge Club has grown over the last 2 years.  Of late, the regular Friday sessions have contributed to this growth, more than compensating for a slight drop at our evening sessions

Sharp monthly peaks (most noticeable for example in 2023-2024, pink) are due to months where 5 Wednesdays and/or Thursdays occur rather than the usual 4.  Similarly, noticeable dips in December are obviously due to our 2-3 week winter break.

At the wonderful Ednam House Hotel on the banks of the Tweed.  Reserve this date in your diary.  Registration, entry form - see link below. Brochure will be sent to SBU clubs in near future.  Cash prizes.  Members from EBU (e.g. Northumberland and Cumbria) most welcome.

We are a very friendly club and try to cater for all levels of bridge.  We can direct you to novice and intermediate classes, gentle bridge initiatives and so on.

We hope that newcomers to Kelso and its surroundings will discover the site and will be tempted to join us.
