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

 

Do you need a partner ?

 

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

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.
