News & Dates for your Diary

Our next joint away day is at Ashover Parish Hall on Saturday 26th July details to follow by personal email. The intention is to start at 10.00 with a Buffet Lunch 13.00 with play to end at 16.00. The cost is £17pp including Lunch. We have 10 tables already reserved with many "regulars" still to book.

Venues are getting booked well in advance. So a further heads up! We have booked Ashover Community Centre again for Sunday 5th October with the intention of running an event similar to above. We have booked our Xmas "Do" at Walton on Weds 17th December and having missed a March spot this year, we have booked Grassmoor for Saturday 28th March 2026.

We sponsored a Blue Point Event at Spondon on 3rd June and I was surprised how enjoyable it was. Andrew & Ken ran a very smooth competition with immaculate time keeping. Everybody scored Blue points on this Swiss Pairs and got black points as well! These are open competitions and we will be attending events sponsored by other Clubs. It is hoped the Grassmoor event on 28th March will be blue point.

The Club operates a policy of "Best Behaviour at Bridge" as advocated by the EBU 

Regular sessions at the club are: 10.00 Mondays Lessons, 12.45 Mondays Face to Face Duplicate and 19.00 Tuesdays Improvers Duplicate, all at Grassmoor Community Centre. Members are expected to arrive with a partner. Visitors to the area are very welcome to attend singly or with a partner and will always get a partner

Improvers

Tuesday sessions are aimed at easing our students into full Club play. As such, Improvers are "cut some slack". They cannot converse during bidding nor play but they are encouraged to discuss hands afterwards with everyone at the table. Mistakes are made and play is a little slower than usual. Please make allowances and enjoy the bridge.

Learners

Our beginner's bridge programme continues on Monday mornings at 1000 at Grassmoor Community Centre. For further information contact Clive Case on 07923 375247 or clivecase@btinternet.com.All welcome. 1st lesson is free.

Our improvers programme continues alongside this session.

 

Learn Bridge

 The current series of lessons for beginners will finish on July 24th. A new course based on the English Bridge Union's 'Red Book' will commence after the summer. For those wishing to continue their learning an improvers group will also be started at that time.

 

 

Partner Finding

 If you are a visitor to the club or you know that your Regular Partner is unavailable please call or email Chris Challinor who will try and  arrange a partner for you.  Please do not turn up "on spec" as a Host may not be available. Contact Chris 01623 230752 or rosieandchris@tiscali.co.uk. Chris will also try to find you a Regular Partner if you are currently unattached.
