Ann and Sue Caygill, Bob Cuerden and Desmond Dunleavy were first with Gill and David Gold, Chris Stenning and Mark Stanners runners-up. Congratulations to all our winners, details can be found in the Archive tab on the left.

Stannington BC offers three regular games, all operating under EBU rules and awarding master points. On Wednesday evenings we play an online game of about 20 boards on BBO. On Thursday mornings at Stannington Village Hall we have a gentle bridge session of around 15 boards for members and improvers and provide hosts as partners. On Friday evenings we play face to face at the hall too when we hold our main club evening and play 24 boards. We have a monthly special event including friendly competitions, expert talks, cheese and wine evenings and, of course, our legendary Christmas Party!

We provide free refreshments and welcome visitors and players of all abilities to our friendly club.
