Richmond Bridge Club is the UK's No. 1 affiliated club and warmly welcomes visitors

WELCOME TO RICHMOND BRIDGE CLUB

Welcome to Richmond Bridge Club the most popular and successful EBU affiliated club in the country. Richmond Bridge club has been the No.1 club in the country for 9 consecutive years and we hope we are creating some sort of record. The club is housed in the old Bowling Club Pavilion in Cambridge Park, nestling between Richmond and Twickenham in South-West London. The Clubhouse, extensively refurbished in 2002, is now probably one of the finest in Surrey and can accommodate 36-37 tables.

We offer a full range of duplicate bridge playing facilities from Monday to Friday, some Saturday Evenings and Sunday afternoons. The club also offers lessons for players of all standards to learn bridge as a beginner or to improve their bridge with various Refresher and Intermediate courses. If you are interested in learning please register by clicking here. Afternoon sessions start promptly at 1.45pm (start-time on Sundays is 2.30pm) and in the evenings, play begins at 7.30pm. Special events are often held at weekends.

Richmond Bridge Club is a charitable incorporated organisation - charity no. 1175613 Registered in England - company no. CE012010

RICHARD SEMINAR 11 JANUARY

The next Saturday morning seminar by Richard will be on 11 January 2020 @ 10.30 am - 12.30pm. The topic will be "bidding in the protective position" i.e. in the 4th seat - or what Andrew Robson calls the "cheat seat" when all the bidding guidelines can be relaxed. The Americans call this the "balancing" position. Your aim in 4th seat, particularly at "pairs" scoring, is to push the opponents a level higher or steal a part score. Richard will share some handy tips on how to improve your judgement in these situations along with 8 practice hands. Members £15.00
