As it is a competition evening it is not suitable for beginners who have little or no experience.

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

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.
