We are an active friendly bridge club serving Market Harborough and its surrounding area. We meet to play duplicate bridge in the Baptist Church's New Horizons Hall, Manor Walk, Market Harborough on Monday and Thursday evenings between 6.50 pm and 10 pm.
Members pay a small annual subscription of £20, visitors are always welcome.
If you play bridge and would like to have a trial game, but don't have a partner, please contact the Secretary on secretary@mhbridge.com who will try to find you an appropriate partner.
Visiting pairs should also contact the Secretary, who will advise and if appropriate book them in. Or they can just turn up on a Thursday evening.

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.

| Wednesday Morning Bridge |
For those wanting a more relaxed session of duplicate bridge, we recommend the “Breakaway Bridge Club”, which meets on a Wednesday morning at 9.50 a.m. in the same location as MHBC. 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 need to come with a partner. Please contact Stella Joyce (stellafjoyce@gmail.com) for more information.
