We have now opened bookings for our very popular Cafe Bridge which is on Tuesday, June 18. Registration starts at 10.00am and will take place at the Whittaker Ellis Suite in the Old Town Hall, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond,TW9 1TP.

Directed as always by the wonderful Victor Lesk and his team with scores entered electronically by players in-running on their smartphones using the BriAn app-based scoring system. This allows us to announce a result very soon after the last board is played. If you have not come across BriAn before, you can find out more here.
The cost per person is £32.00 and I am sure irrespective of the weather we will have a wonderful day, however, we have had brilliant weather the last two events, long may it continue. Please book by clicking here.
This year as the club is a registered charity we will use funds to teach and promote junior bridge in addition to giving a portion of our profits to Princess Alice Hospice in the memory of Richard Millard and John Balson. We are keen to ensure that this great game continues to be played in the future and the club's charitable status will hopefully allow us to get teachers into local schools and teach children at the club for a nominal charge.

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. The Club is affiliated to the Surrey County Bridge Association and the English Bridge Union.
Computer-dealt hands (with printed hand copies available after play) and the "Bridgemate" wireless scoring system (giving you instant results as you play) are used for all sessions.
