Tuesdays - venue Bearsted and Thurnham Club * opposite Bearsted Green  -   7pm start
Wednesdays and Thursdays at Civil Service Club**, Recreation Close, Maidstone ME14 5AZ - 7.15pm start

*  Bearsted venue - as we use the club committee room upstairs, access may be difficult for some disabled players.  Parking is on road (off peak) or at the rear.  Drinks and tea/coffee available at the club bar.
**  Civil Service Club - parking at rear of the building.  Please do NOT park at the front of the building as this is reserved for CS Club members only.     Tea/coffee available and drinks may be purchased at the club bar.

The first Thursday of each month is a teams event.   Host available on Wednesdays only.

Wednesdays are seen as a more relaxed session with 20/22 boards usually played.  As it is a competition evening it is not suitable for beginners who have little or no experience.   Newcomers are requested to email learnbridge@btinternet.com or phone 07986 989764 to discuss their level of play before attending or to find out about lessons. 

The Club is EBU affiliated and operates the Pay to Play system.
Master Points are awarded at all sessions, including Wednesdays.
Duplimate hands and bridgemates are used

The Annual Membership is £10 with a reduced pro rata fee available for new members joining later in the year.

TABLE MONEY IS £3 FOR MEMBERS;  £3.50 FOR VISITORS
(additional costs on Simultaneous Pairs nights)

On Wednesdays, players are expected to make their own arrangements to play with a partner.  The host system is available for players whose regular partner is unavailable for a week or two.    Whilst we have not yet turned people away for 'abusing' the host system, we will enforce the practise if necessary.  It is assumed that after three weeks, players will have found someone to play with on a regular basis, as regular partnerships bring long terms benefits and a greater understanding of the game.
