Finding Bridge Partners |
It can sometimes be difficult to find regular bridge partners for F2F games, but don't despair as help is available. You can use the Partners button in our menu to send a message to two members of our Board of Directors who will do their best to help you. They will endeavor to put you in touch with members who are looking to establish a regular or long term partnership.
Don't forget you can try to find partners for one-off games by using the Pianola Partner Finder or by placing an advert on our website calendar for our F2F games.
A video describing how to place an advert can be found in the Useful Videos section of this website.

Daily Social Bridge Games |
We offer daily games of Social Bridge on the RealBridge platform for use by players making up their own tables of four. There is a £2 charge for this service which has to be paid by one of the four players who acts as the Host player and who logs in using the Social Bridge Host button in our menu. Click on this article to read more about this service.
Hosts should check that the Host button shows the current date before paying as otherwise you might be playing the hands that were played the day before. Guest players can log in for free using the Social Bridge Guest button. None of the four players needs to be members of the club as no passwords are required.
After logging in to RealBridge the host can add a table if the ones showing have all been used, using the + late table button, or start off the first board for the first table by clicking on the Start round 1 button.
