We are sorry to announce that Wednesday morning Supervised Play sessions on RealBridge will cease from the end of January. The last session will be Wednesday 29th January. This is due to the low number of bookings. 

There are alternative sessions which all current Wednesday morning players are well equipped to join - Gentle Duplicate (RealBridge) on Wednesday afternoons, 2pm-4.30pm; Gentle Duplicate (Club) on Tuesday mornings, 10am-12.45pm; Supervised Play (Club) on Thursday evenings, 7.15pm-9.30pm; and Social Bridge on Saturdays, 2.30pm-4.30pm. Please see further details in the calendar section. 

Thank you to everyone who has attended the sessions over the last four years, and to the directors, hosts and scorers. 

Michael Byrne is coming to OBC on 25th January to deliver 2 seminars:

Term 2 of the Bridge for All Courses start again in January. Our courses follow the English Bridge Union recommended schedule. If you wish to continue to learn to play bridge, or refresh your skills booking is now open.

Pairs who score more than 50% in one of our duplicate pairs sessions (excluding Gentle Duplicate and 9-High Pairs) during the weeks beginning 17th November, 1st December or 5th January qualify to play in one of the semi-finals of the County Pairs. 

In addition, the county is running a parallel competition for 9-high players. Any player who scores 50% or more in one of our Gentle Duplicate or 9-High Pairs sessions during the same weeks will be invited to play in the 9-High County Pairs final. 

See the Oxfordshire Bridge Association website for further details and dates of the semi-finals and finals. 

We are playing face-to-face (F2F) bridge at the clubhouse on the following days:

Monday mornings:  this is a hybrid session with two sections playing the same set of hands - one section playing at the club, and the other on RealBridge.

Tuesday mornings:  this is a Gentle Duplicate session with restrictions on experienced partnerships.

Wednesday evenings: duplicate pairs, except 1st Wednesdays when we play teams.

Thursday evening Supervised Play sessions are at the clubhouse and must be prebooked. Click here for more information about Supervised Play sessions. 

Friday mornings: this is a hybrid session with two sections playing the same set of hands - one section playing at the club, and the other on RealBridge.

Friday evenings: cross-Imp pairs on 1st Friday evenings only. Must be booked in advance. Not hosted. 

Saturday Social: an opportunity to play relaxed bridge on Saturday afternoons at the Club.

As always please check the calendar for details. Pay for F2F sessions by card when you arrive at the club (except for 1st Friday evenings and Thursday evening Supervised Play which must be booked in advance).

Free tea and coffee is available at every session; the bar is open during the evening sessions. 

All sessions (except 1st Friday evenings) are hosted, so you can come along without a partner. Visitors are very welcome.
