Putney Bridge Club's sister club New Chiswick BC hosted a club-standard weekend on July 2nd/3rd 2016, offering EBU 'blue' master points (the next level up from regular club events). The event was a great success, attract ing 30 pairs for the Swiss Pairs on the Saturday and nine teams-of-4 on the Sunday .  European Women's champion Nicola Smith was in the winning pair on Saturday with Allison Green, and Janet de Botton's team-of-4 won on Sunday.

The 2015 Barnes Café Bridge, organised by Emma Forbes and Victor Lesk plus team, raised over £3000 for Hoopers Africa Trust, a charity that works for girls' education in East Africa.  Scoring was by Victor's "BriAn" system.  240 players took part, spread across 12 venues, and the results were available within 20 minutes of the end of play.  BriAn is ideally suited to the Café Bridge format and Victor maintains a webpage with details of past and future Café events.

After a 7-month gap we were able to move back to the refurbished Winchester House in April 2016. The "ballroom" where we play, which overlooks the River, is now cleaner, smarter and more to the point better lit!   We meet for bridge every Monday except Bank Holidays. Game time is 7.30pm.  All welcome, partners found for single players.  Bridge players are welcome to use the Members' Bar.
