Café Bridge 2026

[Not an official Nottingham Bridge Club event, but you might be interested]

On 17th March 2026 (St Patrick's Day) there will be a fun Café Bridge charity event in the Kelham Island area of Sheffield

Sheffield is easy to get to and back by train and you might even want to book a hotel and have an overnight stay

If this sounds good, get in touch with Dan Zimzek (0776 4229489) to join the WhatsApp group and keep up to date on what others in the club are planning

There is a limit on the number of pairs that can be entered, so make your mind up quickly to avoid disappointment

Note that the WhatsApp group is just for sharing information - you will need to make all your own arrangements to register and plan travel

Previously several club members have enjoyed Café Bridge events in Nottingham and Newark, and had trips on the Eurostar to Utrecht and Antwerp - here we were in the sunshine at Antwerp in September 2024

Full details and how to enter are on the Yorkshire County Bridge Association website

Bridge for Post-Beginners

Are you a nearly-new bridge player, a not-so-nearly-new bridge player, a lapsed or rusty bridge player?

Would you like to improve your bridge? Come to our gentle Acol drive on Wednesdays at 7pm. No partner needed.  Lots of help available.

This is what the punters think:

“It’s a very friendly evening and we all learn a lot”

“A very supportive group especially for newcomers. Assistance is always given and you might even get the chance to play with one of the directors which is really helpful”

“Relaxed evening for new bridge players. Lovely people; a great learning experience”

Have I paid my Table Fees?

To see your account at any time.

Go to the right of the home page of this web site and click on           Members Area          
On the new page that appears click on the Payments A/C tab.

(Details of your account should appear...... however ...)

If you've not used the Members Area before, ....... it's easy.
Click here to download the instructions.

You can see how to pay by clicking here. 

We have improved our processes so that the amount (under or overpaid) shown in the email should match the correct balance as at the date it is sent to you – previously it reflected table fees due but not any payments you made since the last bank statement (16^th of the month).  Hopefully this will remove any confusion.
