Welcome to Richmond Bridge Club, the most popular and successful EBU affiliated club in the country!  A friendly and progressive club, we are housed in the old Bowling Club Pavilion in Cambridge Park, nestled between Richmond & Twickenham.  Our Clubhouse has multiple playing rooms, teaching facilities and a fully licensed bar.

We offer a range of duplicate bridge sessions every day of the week for players of all abilities - our full schedule of regular events may be found here.

Our next championship events :

Ladies Pairs/Mens Pairs - Tuesday Afternoon Nov 12th

Westminster Cup - Monday Evening Nov 18th

Our Academy offers lessons for new players, beginners and improvers, and seminars for more experienced players. For more detail about the different sessions for novices and improvers, please click here.

Wednesday evening @ 19.30, Nov 13th, the club will organise its next monthly teams event.

These are held on the 2nd Wednesday of each month.

A team is made up of 4 players playing together as 2 pairs. There are some differences to the scoring method, and therefore the best tactics - but if you are unfamiliar with the format don't worry, just play your usual game ! 

There is no obligation to play every month. Normal table money of £7 will apply for members, £10 for visitors.

The details of how things are organised on the night will depend on the number of teams taking part.

There is free street parking (so do not use the bowls club car park) and the bar will be open throughout.

I want to encourage less experienced players to have a go

so don't just ignore this because you're not sure what's involved !

For the moment my focus is on gathering names and  helping arrange everyone into teams of four

Recently two long standing members have sadly passed away.

Bob Rowlands was a life member of the club and played a big part in the club's early days. Most recently he used to mentor a few students at home and played very occasionally at the club with Meena Samani. There is a extensive obituary on the EBU website - click HERE. 

Trevor Hamlyn was a regular in many of our sessions, regularly playing with Jacqueline Taylor. His passing was very sudden and unexpected.

Our sincerest condolences to all of Bob's and Trevor's family and friends. We will add more information as soon as we can.
