We are running the Ladies and Men's Pairs Competitions on Wednesday 29th April at 7.15pm at the club. 

The winners of the Men's Pairs competition receive the John Simpson Trophy, and the winners of the Ladies' competition the Doreen Simpson Trophy. 

Entry fee = £4.00 per player. There's no need to book in advance - pay by card when you arrive at the club.  All members are very welcome to take part. Non-members and mixed-sex pairs may play, but are not eligible to win either competition. 

Please note that these sessions are not hosted, but if you'd like to play, and are looking for a partner, email Liza, who will try to match you up with someone. 

Oxford Bridge Club is holding a Blue-pointed Swiss Pairs Competition on Sunday 19th April, at 1pm.

Entry fee: £20 per player, to include tea and refreshments. Entry is via the OBA website: CLICK HERE TO ENTER.

Bridge for All Term 3 courses are available to book. These are open to students who have completed Term 2. You can find more information by clicking on the links under Learn To Play Bridge in the right-hand column of this page. 

Access by car to the club is not affected significantly by the Oxford Temporary Congestion Charge. There aren’t any charge locations on either the Woodstock or Banbury Roads so access from the north is completely free.  There is a charge location on the Marston Ferry Road but it only operates 7am- 9am and 3pm - 6pm Monday to Saturday. Therefore those coming to either a morning or evening session will not be charged if they use Marston Ferry Road.  However members who would previously have travelled through the centre of Oxford to get to the club will have to pass at least one of the charge locations in the city centre that all operate every day 7am - 7pm.
