The Morrie Marsh competition for novice pairs will take place on Thursday 14th May at 7.15pm at Oxford Bridge Club. This will be in place of the usual Supervised Play and Gentle Duplicate sessions. 

The competition is open to 'novice pairs' - players who have fewer than 200 masterpoints (below Club Master). Players who are members of Oxford Bridge Club and those who haven't previously won a club trophy are eligible to win the Morrie Marsh Trophy and will have their names added to the club's Honours' board. Masterpoints will be awarded. 

We'll play 16-18 boards and table money is £4. No need to book in advance - pay by card when you arrive at the club. For full competition rules click here. 

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.
