Welcome to Sarum Bridge Club
Welcome to Sarum Bridge Club

Sarum Bridge club meets in the Cricket Club on the Wilton Road in Salisbury three times a week. We are affiliated to the EBU and the Wiltshire Contract Bridge Association and our doors are always open to new members and visitors.

Our premises are disabled friendly (there is a lift to the first floor) and there is a bar where refreshments can be ordered.

There is a large, free car park.      Find our Venue

Monday and Wednesday evenings are competitive evenings and play starts promptly at 19.00. Members are asked to be at the club by 18.45.
On Thursday we hold a social session, starting at 14:45 with members being asked to arrive by 14.30. 

Table fees are £3.00 for members and £4.00 for visitors.
The annual membership fee is £10.00

We run an online stewarding system at our Wednesday sessions and do our best to ensure that a member is available to play with, on the "Find a Partner" page.  On Thursday social session we will always find a partner for any one who attends.
Visitors needing a partner should contact the Chair or secretary. 

On the 6th September 2021 the Sarum club reopened for f2f play. There are some Covid precautions in place which I would ask you to read and abide by for the safety of all. 

Happy playing! Contact us

Our Venue

The Cricket Club has a bar close to the bridge room.

The director will call a ten minute break at a convenient time. Please resume play promptly when called by the director.

To save time at the break orders can be placed at the bar before the start of play.

Subscriptions

Subscriptions for the year 2024 - 2025 will be due from 1st April.

The annul fee will be £10.00 and members are requested to pay Sheila our membership secretary or any committee member as soon as possible, preferably by the end of April.

New members are welcome to join us for any session and may play 3 times as visitors, we hope they will then sign up as members.

The Stewarding System
  1. There will still be a stewards list for Monday and Wednesday and members who play on these days are expected to take their turn to be steward.

  2. The steward will log on to the “Find a partner" page of the website at least 24hrs before the event, register as needing a partner and also post a message saying something like “I am steward for the game on Wednesday”.

  3. Members looking for a partner should also log on and register as needing a partner.

  4. At the cut off time of 5.00pm on the day, the steward should check the website.

    • If there are an even number of members looking for a partner they will be able to attend and play with each other. No need for the steward to attend.
    • If there are an odd number of members looking for a partner the steward will attend to make up a pair.
  5. Members should only log on as looking for a partner, if they are certain that they can attend.


Further guidance for members and stewards see this page: Find a partner instructions

Any problems please contact the Steward Secretary

Best Behaviour at Bridge

A gentle reminder to ensure that every member of our club has an enjoyable evening/afternoon. Even when concentration and pressure take their toll these simple guidelines should be followed:

1.   Greet others in a friendly manner prior to the start of each round.

2.   Be prepared to help new players or players who may not understand bidding sequences you may use.

3.   Give credit when opponents make a good bid or play.

4.   Do not criticise either your partner or opponents at the table.

5.   Ensure that you help make the session an enjoyable time for all - enjoy the company as well as the game!
