| 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.

| Upcoming HBA Event |
NATIONAL HANDICAP PAIRS - an event which will appeal to every player - Sunday September 6th at 1-30pm.
You will probably have heard of this event direct from EBU. It is a national event where uniquely the event result is handicapped depending on the NGS of the players. Therefore any player regardless of their experience and NGS has a chance of doing well in this national event. In recent years the overall national winners have been relatively inexperienced players whose NGS was 2 or 3. HBA has decided to run a heat of the event this year and the entry form and more details are on the HBA website. The event takes place on Sunday September 6th, on RealBridge, starting at 13.30. The event will comprise around 30 boards and the entry fee is £6 per player.

| 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.
