Relaxed Bridge - And Cake! Next one 7th November

The next relaxed cake based session we will be running is on Thursday 7th November at 1.15.

We aim to play fewer boards than a normal club duplicate session and have experienced players around to advise if required.  Crib sheets are allowed too.

If you know anyone who might be interested, please ask them to just turn up - with or without a partner.  If you don't have a partner we will find one for you.

£4 - but if you come as an experienced helper and are prepared to play with a random partner then you play (and eat the cake) for free. 

All welcome – club member or not.

Find a Partner Virtual Pinboard
Find a Partner Virtual Pinboard

We know lots of you are looking for a regular or occasional partners. We also know that the facility in the Calendar pages is not the most “user friendly” thing in the world.

So, we are re-launching the “Find a Partner Pinboard” facility. We think that using the virtual pinboard will be easier for everyone. It has been available before but it was mixed up with the Contact Us form. Now it has its own menu link. You don’t need to login to the website to add a Pinboard request.

We are going to let the two methods run in parallel for a while so if you are looking for a partner, please check both the Pinboard (in the left hand menu) and the Calendar in the right hand column. Or add your own requests of course!

If you need assistance with the process contact patchambridgeclub@gmail.com

We are pleased to advise you that the car park is solely for visitors to the Community Centre or the Library.

Membership or Visitors Permits are available to collect at a bridge session.
