Individual Ladder Winner : Clare Garretty which was her first annual Ladder triumph at the club
Roy Seaman Trophy Winner : Nigel Lewis, retaining the Trophy he won for the first time in 2025/26

| Bridge with St. Albans Bridge Club |
Welcome to St. Albans Bridge Club. We play once a week and are always open to new players either as singles or Pairs.
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'.
Non-members are very welcome to play. Please contact me by e-mail at steve@lamberts.org.uk for further details.
Steve Lambert, Chairman

| Learn to play Bridge |
Are you keen to give Bridge a go but don't know where to start ? Whilst St.Albans is not able to run Bridge lessons another local club, Leverstock Green, has an excellent teaching program with over 100 students currently enrolled. If you're interested either contact me, Steve Lambert (steve@lamberts.org.uk) or approach Leverstock Green directly (https://www.bridgewebs.com/leverstock/).
Alternatively, if you already have some bridge experience, please email me and I would be happy to discuss the best route to get involved.
