Welcome to Royal Mid-Surrey Golf Club Bridge Section

The Freeman Madgett Trophy

Our ever popular Freeman Madgett Trophy rubber bridge knock-out tournament commences on 1st September. 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.

Bridge Drives

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 (except in July, August and September when only the 1st Wednesday is in play), 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.
