And the Winners!

 Bill Carter Trophy  

Our Monday Evening sessions

On Monday evenings we aim to play 24 boards. We operate a booking system for members up to a week ahead via this website. A member can book for a non-member to partner them. Visitors welcome, please contact us at enquiries@mhbridge.com

On the first week of each month results count towards our handicap competition for the Jean Pringle Trophy. And on the third Monday results count towards the "scratch" club championship for the Bill Carter Trophy. All results are submitted to the EBU for the National Grading Scheme and award of Masterpoints.

Table money is £5 for members, £6 for non-members.

Our Thursday Evening Sessions

On Thursday evenings we have a more relaxed session, playing no more than 21 boards. No booking is required - just turn up and play. As for Mondays, all results are submitted to the EBU for the National Grading Scheme and award of Masterpoints.

Those needing a partner can use the automated system on this website. But if you prefer the human touch, Stella Joyce is happy to help. Call her on 07710 581133.

Table money is £5 for members, £6 for non-members.

Morning Bridge - **RETURNING**

For those wanting a more relaxed session of duplicate bridge, we recommend the “Breakaway Bridge Club”, which now meets on a WEDNESDAY morning at 9.45am (for a 10am start). in the Baptist Church Market Harborough.
They typically play 18 boards (duplicate bridge), in a relaxed atmosphere. This is an independent group (non-EBU). There is no membership fee, with table money of £4 per person.  Players don't need to come with a partner, they will try to find one for you on the day.

They also have a WhatsApp Group called "Wednesday Bridge" for finding partners. Please contact Stella Joyce (stellafjoyce@gmail.com) for more information.

 

Anyone can post a "Partner Needed" request for any forthcoming session via the "Bookings Calendar" tab. Members can also join our "WhatsApp" group to message others in the group. If you are not in the WhatsApp group but would like to be, contact us via the club email address.
