Russell House Bridge Group is a Members Only Partnership. Prospective players wishing to join should use the 'Contact Us' link in the left hand yellow menu.

Partners guide the development of the Russell House Group by discussion at regularly held Zoom meetings. 

The next scheduled Zoom Meeting will be held on Sunday 5th September at 5pm. Members wishing to attend or to express a subject for the Agenda should give details via the 'Contact Us' section of the website.

Essentially we have withdrawn the Wednesday and Saturday morning tournaments and replaced the Wednesday evening support event with Match Play Pairs.

Check the website calendar for full details.

The next Open Tournament will be held on Thursday 24th June at 7.35pm.

Members are encouraged to invite visitors but they must ensure that new visitors are notified to us via the 'Contact Us' facility to ensure that they are on our BBO Include List.

Suspension of Official Friday Night League. 

(Informal games still on)

In the light of lockdown easing and summer coming causing difficulties with availability and other ongoing problems getting the matches set up, the official Friday night league will be suspended until September, when it will be reviewed. 

In the meantime, anyone who wants to form a team to play on Friday night (or indeed any other time if that suits better) can arrange challenge matches themselves. 

Current captains may want to continue with the team members they have already, but have the flexibility to draft in others. Anyone keen to play can contact these captains to see if they are intending to set up a match. Always easier for people who are interested in playing to come forward rather than captains having to chase people up. It is anticipated this will be on a first come first served basis so the eager ones get to play. 

Hopefully anyone organising a game will ensure the teams are evenly matched as it is much more fun for everyone if it is a close contest.

Raymond and Julia will continue to play challenge matches themselves and will be setting these up alongside Zoom on most Friday evenings, so anyone who wishes to play with Zoom at that time can contact either of them and they will organise this for you. 

Russell House is currently an online Bridge Group offering daily events to promote fun, friendly Bridge for all. It provides a mixture of events which range from Mentoring of new players, Duplicate Pairs tournaments and Individual tournaments. This eclectic mixture is designed to ensure that players of all abilities can enjoy a friendly learning atmosphere as well as the competitive element offered by Duplicate Pairs. With effect from 1st September 2020, the Club will become a Members Only Partnership. Anyone wishing to join the Partnership should use the Contact Us form in the left hand yellow menu.

The BBO system offers the opportunity to seek a partner , on the day of the event, by logging in to the event and entering your name in the Partnership Desk.

However, if  you require a partner for any event there may be one already waiting. Check the calendar box on the right...if 'Partner ?' is showing click it for further information.

If you wish to request a partner for a specific future event, use the 'Members Only' link in the left hand Menu or the Calendar Month page and click on the coloured icon.
