We are pleased to welcome  members and visitors to f2f events. We have updated guidelines to assist those attending Guidelines  

Each week there will usually be five sessions in the club at 12 Wells Promenade. These are Tuesday and Wednesday evenings with play starting at 7.05pm, Wednesday morning at 9.55am and on Monday and Friday afternoons at 1.45pm. There will be social intermediate sessions on occasional Fridays at 7.05pm. No booking is required for any of these  sessions. All of our regular competitions have restarted. Please see the calendar and competitions for more details.

Please do not bring cash to pay for f2f sessions, we will invoice members for all sessions played and this will be  £2.50 members, £3.50 non members. Members can now log in to see their own personal account. Please remember that no premises can guarantee to be Covid free so members have to take their own individual decisions and above all please keep everyone's safety in mind when playing at the club. Note the latest Government guidance from 13 April, anyone with a positive COVID-19 test result is advised to try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people for 5 days, which is when they are most infectious.

We run two sessions of Supervised Bridge each week in the club on Monday afternoon (1.45pm start) and Wednesday morning (9.55am start). The current supervised bridge session on line on a Wednesday morning will stop at the end of June and we hope that players will be able to join others in the Club. Also, that players who have not been in the Club for some time will come along and enjoy a friendly, relaxed session lasting about two hours. There is a host available for our supervised bridge sessions so you don't need a partner.
