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. From the beginning of November all duplicate sessions have returned to face-to-face.
New players are always welcome and should email the Club email address.

| Vi Smith RIP |
|
It is with great sadness that I have to reveal we lost one of our long serving members Vi Smith on the night of 15 November. Along with Angela Glancy, she won several of our internal trophy events.
Most of her latter games were played on-line due to the Covid 19 epidemic where she bought a brand new laptop in order to improve her experience. Vi also played at several other clubs as well as taking part in county events.
Vi's funeral will be on Friday,10th December at 11am, St Matthews Church, Chichester Road, East Croydon CR0 5JT. Then afterwards for a light lunch at Oaks Farm, Oaks Lane, Croydon CR0 5HP.
A shuttle bus from the church to Oaks Farm is available for anyone who might need it, otherwise it’s a 5 minute drive. Please contact her daughter Tess Macleodsmith via tessmacleodsmith@gmail.com so there is some idea of the numbers. Any donations should be given to The Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children.
