We are delighted to bring you the National Handicap Pairs Championship 2022 on Sunday, 4th September. This is a brand-new event which will be played by multiple clubs across the country.

It doesn't matter whether you are an experienced player, an improver or new to bridge, handicaps will level the playing field. You have exactly the same opportunity as other players. All you have to do is beat the average of your and your partner's combined NGS grade.

Play will start in the clubhouse at 13:30 and we play between 28-30 boards depending on table numbers. The cost of the competition is £10 for members and visitors. There will be a short break, half-way through the session, for coffee and a slice of delicious homemade cake.

The bar will be open so, food/snacks and drinks can be also be ordered before and throughout the session.

August's Saturday Supper, at 18:00 on Saturday, 20th August promises another mouth-watering meal:

• Beef mini-meatballs in a red pepper sauce served with fregola, an Italian accompaniment very popular in London right now

• Caponata (a Sicilian speciality!) - aubergine, celery and courgette stew in a tomato, caper, olive sweet and sour sauce - as the side dish and vegetarian option with fregola

• Summer fruits Pavlova

Our suppers are always relaxed and followed by 24 boards of bridge. The perfect way to spend a Saturday evening!
