| Supervised Play with Christine Tomkin |
 |
Christine Tomkin has just given me her dates for her latest Supervised Play sessions. These sessions have been very popular and do not involve any prepared hands - just deal and ask for help, if you need, with the bidding, play and defence. Scores are only kept so you know whether you are vulnerable or non-vulnerable - which often affects the bidding. This last session will be held in the Card Room which has room for 4 tables (16 people) and start at 1.30pm and lasts about two hours. There will be a small charge of £3 debited to your Club card.
Tuesday 29th September at 1.30pm - click here for 29th Sept booking page
These sessions are intended for players who would like to improve their confidence at the bridge table and willing to ask for assistance when required.
Christine Tomkin is a registered EBU teacher and member of the Club.
Please sign up clicking above on the date if you wish to attend or via the menu on the left.

| Quarterly SUPPER and BRIDGE |
 |
Please join us for our first Quarterly Supper and Bridge evening.
On Thursday 19th November, we will enjoy a light supper at 6.30pm in the Viscount Room followed by both Duplicate and Chicago bridge in the Henry Cotton Room starting at 7.15pm. On the Duplicate side, the winning pairs (N/S & E/W) will receive a small prize. Members playing will automatically compete for the Peter Taylor Cup. On the Chicago side, there will be a small prize for the two best GROSS scores .
The cost will be approximately £20 for the fare and £5 for the bridge for both members and guests. We will look to obtain payment for guests prior to the event to avoid staff wandering around trying to get payments.
We will endeavour to finish at 10.15 to 10.30pm.
We would love you to come along and bring your friends as guests for this fun evening.
Bookings will be open when the two choices are known by the end of this month.

| Tuesday Afternoons - Benmore Bowl Duplicate Bridge |
|
Our Tuesday afternoon sessions are very popular. This is a relaxed social afternoon with Tea and Biscuits if you wish to partake. We hope you can encourage other less regular players to come along. These afternoon sessions are playing for the Benmore Bowl trophy. The sessions started on the 1st Tuesday in October and run through on most Tuesdays until the last Tuesday in March 2026. To qualify for the trophy, a player must attend at least 8 of the Tuesday events. After the end of March, bridge will continue to be organised until the last Tuesday in June provided that at least four tables are in play. Please sign up on the website on the Bookings Page in the menu to the left for these very social occasions.

| The Freeman Madgett Trophy |
 |
Our ever popular Freeman Madgett Trophy rubber bridge knock-out tournament commences on 1st October. Not quite a full knockout tournament; as we have so many pairs entering, we have a round-robin pools system where the leading pair in each group go through to the knock-out stage. The competition runs through-out the Autumn/Winter/Spring and can be arranged to play at either the host pairs' house or at the Club....the choice is by agreement between the pairs. The organiser of the event is Mimi Waterbury and any questions should be directed to her. If you wish to enter please click this link to the Booking Form. If you are looking for a partner, please approach Mimi who will try to help.
The Rules and the Draw (when drawn) are/will be shown on the menu tab to the left.
