Welcome to the Ross-on-Wye Bridge Club Web Pages |
The Club meets in the Larruperz Centre in Ross-on-Wye.
Monday evenings Bridge starts promptly at 7.00 pm.
We ask players to arrive by 6.45 pm to allow the directors to organise the various forms of duplicate bridge that we play and set up the Scoring system and Bridgemates accordingly.
We also have a Friday afternoon session which meets at 1.15pm for a 1.30pm start for a more relaxed Bridge session.
Both sessions are open to all members, and visitors are welcome. As we do not run a hosting system, please contact us beforehand if you are planning to come by yourself.
There is a table fee of £5 for Members and £6 for Visitors.
Visitors are welcome to most sessions (up to three times per year), but should contact one of the committee to check that they may attend, this is particularly relevant to Simultaneous Competitions which have specific restrictions.
