Teams Ladder 2025/26

 

For this competitive year a change was made to the Teams Ladder to permit squads of up to six players to take part rather than our previous format of squads of four.  The aim was ideally to deepen the competition in the Ladder and to get more players involved more regularly.  After two months it is pleasing therefore to see a five-way tie for top position in the Ladder with three of these five Teams, so far, benefiting from the more flexible squad rules.  Early days but a very welcome development.

Bridge Holidays

 

St. Albans Bridge Club Member Paul Wilson runs regular bridge holidays during the year as 'Paul Wilson Bridge Holidays'. His aim is to provide a friendly and relaxing long weekend of bridge in comfortable hotels with good facilities. The varied bridge programme is suitable for all standards and includes Chicago, Duplicate and a seminar with Paul, who is a qualified EBUTA Professional Level Tutor.

The next event will be at The Ardington Hotel in Worthing. Friday June 20th to Monday June 23rd. 4 days and 3 nights with nearly all of their ground floors rooms only available should you be unable to use the stairs. The base price is £465.00 sharing, £475 for a standard single and £440 for a smaller single.

The Ardington Hotel is a privately owned hotel overlooking Steyne Gardens and adjacent to the sea front, about 100 yards from the main shopping centre. Rooms vary in size and are on the ground and first floors, several with a shower cubicle. There is no lift. The award winning Indigo restaurant is renowned for food quality offering traditional hospitality and a variety of dishes.

Bridge with St. Albans Bridge Club

 

Welcome to St. Albans Bridge Club.  We are currently playing twice a week.

Monday evenings at 19:30 Jersey Farm Community Hall - Duplicate Pairs except for the second Monday of the month when we will play Multiple Teams.  For Pairs events we operate a Reserve Player system so members can come along without a partner and will get a game.  Partners are assigned on a 'first come, first served basis'.

Thursday evenings at 19:20 online on BBO

Non-members wishing to play in either event MUST contact me for approval at least 24 hrs in advance at steve@lamberts.org.uk.  Tournament Directors may not permit non-members to play if they simply arrive at the event.

 

Do you need a partner ?

 

If you need a partner for either Thursday nights on BBO or Monday nights at Jersey Farm drop me an email and I'll do my best to help.
