On Friday 5th December we held our Chronicle Cup qualifier. Chris and Gill were first with Ian and Keith in second. The Secretary will shortly contact all those who have qualified to ask if they want to play in the next round at Brunton BC on Wednesday 11th February 2026 at 7.00 pm. Twenty four boards will be played. The final will be held at Wearside BC on Sunday 15th February at 1.00 and consist of 45 boards. Please ensure that you are available for both dates if you want to go through as a qualifier.

If you spot a scoring mistake in any of our games, please contact the Secretary or Scorer by noon the following day.

Stannington BC was launched in August 2023 as a new EBU affiliated bridge club. We combined the previous Newcastle and Cramlington bridge clubs into one organisation.

We offer 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.

If you are looking for a partner please contact Colin Mitchell on 01670 827598 or by email Colin.mitchell01@btinternet.com.
