Winter Season

The Summer Season 2025 finished on the 31st of August and the Winter Season 2025 commenced on September the 1st and will end on the 31st of March 2026.

All Winter ladders require a minimum of 10 appearances to qualify

Beginner Bridge Lessons

The Beginner Bridge lessons have started again in the Bowls Pavilion but they are now FULL.   Anyone who is already on the list for lessons or who has been to lessons before is assured of a place but we are not able to take any more new people at present.   Returning learners can decide whether to come to the beginner lessons at 12.45 - 2.45 or to the new "improver" lessons which will run from 3pm - 4.30 pm.   

If you do know anyone who is interested in learning to play Bridge please ask them to get in touch with Brenda Blackwell.  Brenda is starting a waiting list and it is possible that places may become available through the year. 

Assisted play will begin again on Wednesday 8th October from 1pm -3pm at the back of the Cowen Suite.

Weekly Bridge sessions

The Monday, Wednesday and Thursday sessions continue as normal.

Stewards are available on all Monday and Thursday evenings and Wednesday mornings.

The Wednesday afternoon arrangement whereby the Directors act as Stewards remains unchanged.

 A new rota for Stewards and Scorers has been set up for the Winter season. Details are on the Bridgewebs calendar.

Congratulations to Steve and Terry for winning the club Swiss Pairs event
