| ROYSTON BRIDGE CLUB - Competitive yet Friendly |
Our ♣ sparkles like a ♦, has a big ♥ and ♠♠♠ of bonhomie, boosted by beverage, biscuits, and banter before bridge begins.
Sessions held every Thursday at 7.00pm at the Coombes Community Centre, Burns Road, Royston.
The club has electronic scoring and computer-dealt hands so results and deals are available straight away.
Visitors are always welcome but need to come with a partner. If you are new to the area, use Find a Partner (Public) and the club will make every effort to provide a suitable partner for you.

| Teams Challenge 9th July |
A reminder that it’s the Mavis Drake Teams Challenge on Thursday 9th July, for which an even number of pairs are required, as you were informed by an earlier bulk email from the chairman (sent 1st June).
If you want to play in this event you will need to make a reservation in the club calendar. So far, ten pairs have entered (ie 5 tables, 5 teams). If you haven’t yet entered, you need to do so this week, as the line-up will be finalised when Will gets back from holiday, once he has a convenient number of pairs entered.
As this Teams event is intended to give every club pair a reasonable chance of winning a club trophy, one minor enhancement to be made this year is that the pairs will be informally “seeded” for the random draw for teams, to ensure that the club’s strongest pairs aren't drawn together to make a team.
It should be fun, see you there.

| Results from 25th June 2026 |
Thursday evening produced an eight-pair contest, 24 boards, two slams, five doubled contracts and one clear winner: Malcolm and Ron, who finished top with 63.19%. Patrick and Miriam were second on 60.42%, with Dave and Andrew third on 56.25%.
The hand of the night seemed to be board 8.
Three tables were in 4 ♠️ each making at least twelve tricks. Unfortunately for them, Malcolm and Ron bid 6 ♠️, made all thirteen tricks!
There was only one other slam. On Board 14, 6 ♣️ by East went four off, giving Malcolm and Ron another top.
Board 10 supplied the evening’s starkest contrast. Three tables played 3 NT by South. One made ten tricks for +630. One went three off. One went four off. The fourth table tried 4 ♠️ doubled by North, which went three off for -800. Same board, different system.
