Richmond Cafe Bridge
Richmond Cafe Bridge

Richmond Bridge Club have now opened bookings for the ever popular Richmond Cafe Bridge which is on Tuesday, June 24th. Arrive from 10.45 am at your initial venue. There will be 3 rounds before lunch and another 3 after. 

This is a fund raising event for the INS (Integrated Neurological Services) - click here for their website.

Janet Leffler, an RMS member, is again leading the cafe bridge team this year supported by, among others, Sally Durant & Caroline Owens, partners of RMS members.  They have agreed some of the restaurants taking part this year including Cote, Buenos Aires, Pizza Express, Angel & Crown, The Old Ship, The Britannia, Rosa's Thai , Adesso, Noci and Watermans.

On the day we will be directed as always by the wonderful Victor Lesk and his team with scores entered electronically by players on their smartphones or ipads using the BriAn app-based scoring system. This allows the result to be announced 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 £40.00 (for the bridge and food - drinks are at the players' wishes!!).

Bookings will be taken via credit/debit card or BACS transfer through the BriAnBridge website. 

Detailed information about the event, your starting position and route will be sent out by email just before the day. There is no central registration point.

Julia Wright has been trialling two Wednesdays each month and is happy with the attendances and is more than happy to keep the two Wednesdays per month going.  These are held on the FIRST and THIRD Wednesday of each month, usually starting at 1.30pm in the Clubhouse.  

These are gentle sessions of Chicago Bridge (playing with the same four on your table throughout).  Julia organises and runs the sessions (and in her absence Christine Wright).  The Booking Forms (in the Menu on the left) are for entries of upto 4 persons;  members and guests   The cost per player is £2.00.  If a player wishes to partake of the tea and biscuits, there will be a charge to their levy card.  Any questions on the bridge side should be addressed to Julia.  These organised sessions will only proceed if we have four complete tables signed up.  Any queries or amendments required to the Bookings, please e-mail Pip.
