Coming soon:

Championship Pairs (Green Point), 15th February

See Full List

The Michael Coda Cup will take place this year at clubs between Monday 16th February and Friday 20th February. This has always been a county-wide, popular and well attended event. Instructions for this event have been emailed to club contacts. The local charity to be supported this year is Bridgwater Guy Fawkes Carnival. It is the UK’s oldest carnival and one of the largest illuminated carnival processions in Europe, and has the benefit of encouraging lots of (non-digital) social interactions between all age groups.

Jean passed away peacefully on 11th December 2025 at the age of 92.

A Somerset bridge player for over 50 years, Jean was an accomplished county and club director. In life and at the table she had a warm, welcoming personality with a touch of her northern heritage, especially when making decisions.

Not only did she play bridge and maintain a busy family life but she looked after her husband Roy for many years after he had a stroke. In her later years she became a bit of an adventurist, doing thrill-seeking activities whilst she was able.

Jean will be sorely missed by all the people whose lives were touched by her, just a very lovely person.
