LATEST UPDATE (Basil pictured)

Our sponsorship of a guide dog puppy has now come to an end and we have been offered the opportunity to sponsor another puppy which would cost £104 for 2 years sponsorship. There are 3 puppies available, Basil a golden retriever cross, Olive a golden retriever/ German shepherd cross and Theo a labrador. Would you like us to sponsor any of these? Let me know.  
Have a look on the Larkhill Bridge Club Facebook page if you want to see pictures of the other puppies.

UNDOS IN REALBRIDGE

 

Undos are now allowed for misclicks in bidding and play in all our tournaments

A misclick is defined as a player inadvertently clicking on the wrong card or bid or their device appearing to make the bid or play for them without them requesting it

It does NOT apply if a player makes a play and then changes their mind or if they fail to concentrate properly and click the wrong card

Click. HERE to go directly to our RealBridge sessions which run on Thursday and Friday at 2pm. You will need your EBU number to play.

If you have not deposited a kitty with us then you will need to do so and pay your annual playing fee of £5. Details of how to pay are on this web page.

You should join after 1:30pm and click on a seat at any table.   If your partner is logged in you sit opposite them. If playing on an ipad please ensure it is fully charged as video games use more power.

LARKHILL BRIDGE CLUB
LARKHILL BRIDGE CLUB

Started in May 2010 our intention was to encourage novice players and lapsed players to join more seasoned players in taking part in friendly, duplicate bridge. 

We regret there is no more face to face at the Larkhill Centre and recommend you to join us via RealBridge on Thursdays and Fridays to continue playing with friends from Larkhill.

Membership is once again open with a few places available and and plenty of room for Associates to apply for registration to play in our Friday Club with a small online playing fee.

 Visitors who register are welcome to play on Fridays which we run on RealBridge and pay through our kitty system.

Visitors may play online on Thursdays for £3 provided they have completed our registration form and been accepted.
