Club Teams Monday Sept 7th

Monday saw the conclusion of our Teams Ladder for 2019/20.  It's been a great year, our first full one with the very successful Swiss format, and we have been delighted by the number of members regularly taking part.  In the end the Ladder produced a clear win for Team Nesbitt: Hilary and Paul Nesbitt, Tony As'ad and Michael Grounds who have been fantastically consistent.  A word though for our runners up led by Bob Turnham.  Bob first won our Teams ladder in 2009/10 and has been a member of the winning team every year since then, a remarkable 10 years on the run.  All good things come to an end though and we look forward to battle being resumed for the 2020/21 Ladder which starts in April.

If you have not been a regular player in our, second Monday of the month Swiss Teams, then it would be great to have you.  It really is a good evening. Please contact either myself, steve@lamberts.org.uk or Jim Fry, JIM67PAR@gmail.com if you would like help creating a team.

The SADBC team of Bob Turnham, Sara Barnett, Jane Scaysbrook, John Mathews, Denis King, James Rogers, Mike Aslett and Sorin Butiu retained the Desmond Flockhart Trophy on December 8th. Our thanks to them, especially to two of the team who were "under the weather" and two had stepped in at the last moment, despite never having played together before!

Welcome to the website of The St Albans Duplicate Bridge Club where we play competitive bridge to a good standard in a warm and friendly atmosphere.

You can come along either as a pair or without a partner as we operate a highly successful duty officer scheme. This scheme runs every week except for the regular teams competition which is held on the second Monday of every month - but please do bring your own team for these events if you wish.

There is ample parking and free tea, coffee and biscuits.

We look forward to meeting you and you don't need to contact us first - just turn up, (Before 7.20 pm please!)

The club meets at The Jersey Farm Community Centre, Sandringham Crescent, St Albans, Herts, AL4 9RG. (please see map and travelling directions under the information button on the left of this page).

We are open every Monday including public holidays (except 24, 25 & 26 December).

Doors open at 7.15pm for a prompt start please be seated by 7.20pm.
