WELCOME TO THE WEBSITE FOR OXSHOTT BRIDGE CLUB

The club operates duplicate sessions on Wednesday evenings at 7.25 pm (for a prompt 7.30 start).  We play at the Oxshott Village Centre, Holtwood Road, Oxshott KT22 0QL.  Visitors are welcome at any time, although we would prefer you to contact the Secretary on 07940 188467 or the Chairman on 01372 278979 before your first visit.  We operate a host system on most evenings but not on the third Wednesday of those months when the club championship is running.  Table money is  £2.50 per person for members, £4 for visitors (visitors £5 from January) .

Oxshott Bridge Club are running some new sessions known as

GENTLE DUPLICATE.

PLEASE NOTE: There will be no sessions of Gentle Duplicate during December as the hall is required for other uses - we will resume these sessions in January.

They will be aimed at novices who have received some tuition and are looking to move on to a club bridge.   

Our sessions are around 15 hands of normal duplicate.  We will use Bridgemates for scoring and a screen to display results during play.  We will offer assistance from more experienced players for difficult hands and there will be a brief break mid-way when the chairman will give a quick talk on topics of interest e.g. Club etiquette, the role of the director and similar (we hope) useful information.  Oxshott hopes that it will help novices to make a less painful transition to regular club play.  We have no wish to ‘poach’ members but, if you know of any new player who might be interested, we would be very happy for them to join in.  It will be a friendly, informal session with tea/coffee/biscuits provided, maybe even cake!

We have booked the hall at Oxshott Village Centre for Monday afternoons starting at 1.30pm.

If you have any queries and to ensure a warm welcome, please contact me by email at dmapugh@gmail.com - or by telephone on 01932 342 366,

The Annual General Meeting of Oxshott Bridge Club was held on Wednesday 25th October.

After many years at the helm Daphne Pugh has stepped down as Chairman. We would like to express on behalf of all the club members our sincere thanks to Daphne for her tireless work keeping the club running (through Covid and all!), leaving us in a sound and thriving position for the future.

We would also like to express our thanks to Philip Duncan who has also retired from the committee this year.

A Member at another club tripped while moving between tables resulting in multiple fractures.

A general risk assessment at bridge clubs pointed out possible hazards:

• Avoid placing handbags on the floor next to chairs
• Place walking sticks appropriately (ask others at your table to help if reqd)
• Ensure no-one is behind you when moving back chairs to stand
• Do not crowd slowly moving people on entrancing or exiting the club
• Position tables as far apart as possible
• Ensure any wires or cables are not placed in a position that can trip

Please help avoid another accident by following the above and feel free to speak to another member, or a committee member, or the director if you spot a hazard.
