Very well done also to Ron Gould & Peter Schroeder, who won the Meltzer Plate competition, for those who lost their first match. Click here for the draw for the plate competition . 

There will be no Learn & Play at the club, and no 9-High Pairs on RealBridge on Thursday 15th June. This is because the Summer Party will be held that evening. Please do come along! You can book tickets for the party here.

Join us for our summer social – tickets are £15 each and include sparkling wine, summer food and a, hopefully, sunny summer's evening of socialising and playing bridge.

The evening will be hosted, so please feel free to come along either with or without a partner.

Booking is essential, click here for the booking link.

Looking forward to seeing you there.

Susan Fletcher has written an article for the May issue of the English Bridge Union magazine (see page 58), in which she explains how Eye Gaze technology enables her to continue to play bridge, despite being unable to use her hands. An inspiring story – and by the way, there is still the opportunity to contribute to research into MND, by following the link to Susan’s Just Giving page at https://justgiving.com/susan-fletcher-watts

We are continuing to run the face-to-face sessions on Monday mornings, starting at 10am. 

There's no need to book in advance - just turn up at the club. We will take payment by card when you arrive. All sessions are hosted, so that you can come along without a partner. 

These are hybrid sessions - ie the online session will be run at the same time, using the same hands. Results from both sessions will be merged before being uploaded.

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.

Wednesday evenings: duplicate pairs on 2nd to 5th Wednesdays. The teams session on 1st Wednesday evenings will stay online for the time being.

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.

As always please check the calendar for details. There's no need to prebook club F2F sessions with the exception of Thursday evening Learn & Play.

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

All sessions are hosted, so you can come along without a partner. Visitors are very welcome. 

If you are having trouble with sound or video on your iPad or other device when using RealBridge, this guidance may help you to fix the problem. [updated September 2022]
