| A Welcome to Montrose Bridge Club |
 Montrose Bridge Club is now in its 71st year! We are proud to be affiliated to the Scottish Bridge Union and part of the Central District.
We meet every Tuesday at 6.45pm in the Congregational Church Hall, Baltic Street, Montrose. We play Match Point, Aggregate and Teams. Visitors are very welcome, but best to check the calendar to make sure we are not running a team or SBU event. Visitors can play in these, but we need to know you are coming first.
Our Main season starts the last Tuesday in August until mid April, where we play competitive duplicate bridge and SBU Master points are awarded. In the summer months we play No Fear bridge to encourage beginners/improvers, new partnerships to come along and play in more relaxed play.
If you want to try us out, the first night is free!
