We are based in a dedicated bridge room in our own premises in South Croydon. Before lockdown we ran four duplicate sessions a week and some tuition.

We are currently running one face-to-face and three online duplicates per week and are experimenting with some shorter format sessions.

New players are always welcome and should email the Club email address. Those who were members on 15 May will have priority on face-to-face bridge until Covid restrictions are lifted.

Bridge Sessions

We will be progressively re-introducing face-to-face bridge at the clubhouse. We will run the following sessions:

• Wednesday 11:00 Clubhouse
• Thursday    19:30 Clubhouse
• Friday        19:30 Online (RealBridge)
• Saturday    14:00 Online (RealBridge)

Clubhouse Bridge

The sessions will be played under the following Covid restrictions:

• limited of 6 tables, consequently pre-booking is necessary, click here for link. All requests received by 09:00 three days before the date of play (Monday for the sessions on Thursday) will be deemed to have been received simultaneously and a random draw made if there are too many tables booked by this point. Requests after this time will be treated on a first-come, first served basis
• existing club members have priority over non-members until the day before play
• masks to be worn except when seated at the table behind the screens
• kitchen access will be restricted to two nominated people per session who will serve the drinks before the session and once during it
• as with the online bridge, table fees will be invoiced at month end for payment by bank transfer, we will not be collecting fees on the day
• the windows will be open to provide ventilation, so please dress 'Hale and Hearty' rather than 'Fine and Fancy', pleas to close the windows will not be entertained
• hand sanitiser will be provided, please sanitise between rounds
• bar service is not guaranteed

Online Bridge

We are tunning our online sessions on RealBridge which allows players to see and talk to those at their table. The links for the sessions in the current week will be added to the calendar on the right of the screen early in the week and the room will be opened about 30 minutes before play is due to start.

Members are welcome to log in and play. Non-members are welcome but should contact the club in advance of the first session that they are looking to play.

All sessions will be operated as standard club sessions.

If you need assistance getting you started on RealBridge please contact either Dave or Tony.

Table Money

Table money for members for both clubhouse and online sessions will be collected monthly in arrears, payment from non-members may be collected in advance.

Short Sessions

We are experimenting with some shorter sessions. Currently we are playing 12 boards and are aimed at those wanting or needing a shorter session. The format of these sessions will evolve over time to meet the needs of those playing and is not scored. There are usually one or two tables. Anyone is welcome just to drop in. There is a host available at these sessions. Non-members are welcome. The sessions will run on Monday at 11:00.

More sessions will be added if there is a demand.

We welcome new members and visitors to all our sessions of play, though as we re-open following Covid-19 with limited table existing members have priority. Please contact the Secretary prior to completing the request to play form at the top of this page.

All sessions have real time computer scoring and pre-dealt hands. We have a licensed bar which also serves hot and cold food. On site car parking is available.
