Of course, we welcome everyone, and if you haven't been part of the club before, we would love to have you join. Want to try a game with us first? Guests are welcome anytime. Do you need a partner? Let us know, and we'll try to help, send us an email, and someone will be in touch.

BCON & Covid

We no longer have any covid protocols. However if you show symptoms, even if you're quite sure it's not Covid, we request that you do not come to the club. If you are Covid positive, please stay away from the club, and enjoy our online games instead. We're very happy to welcome you back to the club once you test negative. Covid is something we need to learn to live with, and by everyone acting responsibly, we can do our best to minimize the spread, and keep our community healthy. Thank you for your understanding.
