A GREAT PLACE TO PRACTICE YOUR BRIDGE WITH FRIENDS - OPEN TO ALL BRIDGE PLAYERS
How DB’s Realbridge Lounge works:
- The player’s lounge is a 'virtual' bridge room where you organise three players to meet and play bridge at an agreed time, similar to a private game for fun or practice.
- You need 4 players to fill a table.
- If you sit at a table where the board is not number 1, then leave and sit at another table. (Someone has already played at that table if not on board 1).
- Cost is €4.50 per day, per player.
- Play up to 32 random boards – play some or all.
- Advance booking essential. Email Declan.
- Only sit at a table where boards have not been played already.
- There is no tournament director needed but I'm never far away.
- Come anytime & leave anytime.
