Gentle Duplicate

Gentle Duplicate is played on Mondays (21 boards, 1315 for 1330 start, finish around 1600), Thursdays (18 boards, 1315 for 1330 start, finish around 1600) and Wednesdays (15 boards, 1845 for 1900 start finish around 2130). In Gentle Duplicate, we generally have 4-6 tables. The sessions are not EBU accredited and are aimed at those who enjoy duplicate without the pressure of fully competitive play. The sessions are hosted, which means you can come without a partner and be guaranteed to play.

Competitive Duplicate

Competitive Duplicate is played on Tuesday evenings (1845 for 1900 start, finish around 2200) and Friday afternoons (1315 for 1330 start, finish around 1615). We generally have 4 to 6 tables at each session and play 21-24 boards. The sessions are EBU accredited and masterpoints are awarded.
