Purchasing BB$

It is necessary to pay in advance to Bridge Base Online (BBO) in order to play in Newton Abbot's online events. BBO is an American website and accepts payment for what they call Bridge Base dollars (BB$,)

There is a minimum purchase amount of BB$10 and the payment you make is converted to UK £. Your account is credited and will then be debited by $3 when you pay the table money for an event .

Everybody needs to go onto the BBO website and register for the event or tournament from 2 hours in advance.

Please do not leave it to the last minute as we need to resolve any of your problems and finalise the movement before we start.

If there is a pair prepared to act as a spare pair in the event of our having a half table then can they please email Don Pearson

Spare Pairs must be available at the start of the session and will be invited to a table if required - Spare Pairs have free entry into the session.

Welcome to Newton Abbot Bridge Club

Newton Abbot "Face to face" Bridge

We play at the Recreational Trust on Marsh Road. Postcode TQ12 2AR (new venue).

There is free parking on site and table money is £2-50 (£3-50 for visitors). If the car park is full in the evening then Cricketfield Road car park is nearby (5 minute walk) where parking is free after 6-00pm.

We are continuing with the hosted Relaxed Bridge sessions on Tuesday afternoons, 1-15 for a 1-30 start, and the more competitive Thursday evening sessions at the earlier time of 6-30 for a 6-45 start. The Tuesday sessions are in the bar and the Thursday sessions are in a function room exclusively for our own use. The bar is open in the evening along with other recreational facilities. Please ask at reception for directions to the bar and function room.

We continue to run a Tuesday evening online session (see below).

Here is a map showing where the Recreational Trust venue is in Newton Abbot.

Hope to see you playing Bridge with us!

Provide BBO User Names for Online Event

In order to play in NABC competitions, the club will need to know your BBO name and other details in advance.

You do not need to provide information again if you have already provided your BBO username for online events or have received training from Don and Betty.

It is essential that details for players not already known to us are given by completing the box provided below.
