With 150 members, MBC is EBU affiliated and has been providing top class bridge and lessons for new members for over 60 years

The Club meets on Monday afternoons and Wednesday evenings for face-to-face bridge at the Maidstone Civil Service Club in Recreation Close Maidstone with computer scoring and pre-dealt hands

Table money is £3 for members (£3.50 visitors who are very welcome) and free tea, coffee and biscuits are available

Please note that card payments are the preferred payment method on both days

Car parking is available at the rear of the Club but be aware Monday afternoon can be congested so please follow any instructions given.

Parking on the grass is not permitted. There is no shortage of parking space on Wednesday evenings 

Play starts at 1300 on Mondays and 1900 on Wednesdays; we normally play 24 or 27 boards with play finishing around 1615 or 2215

Please note we do not operate a host system but if you contact Linda for Mondays or Richard for Wednesdays they will try to pair you up

Board 6, Wednesday 5th November

East holds a text book example of a Weak Two: a six-card suit with at least two honours plus 5-10 points. Most of the time, when partner opens a Weak Two you know exactly what the final contract should be (pass or level of the fit), but on those occasions when you're holding 16+ points and need partner to describe their hand further the 2NT enquiry bid is invaluable.
