Learn or Improve Your Bridge

If you want to learn bridge, information about classes and teachers is available through the NEBA and EBU websites. There are several clubs in Northumberland offering lessons including Brunton, Hexham and Whitley Bay. Classes usually start in September/October and are delivered face to face or online. There are also some excellent teaching notes available free on the NEBA website prepared by Neil and Inga Aiston aimed at beginners and improvers.

If you've already got some bridge experience and want to play and improve your game in a friendly environment, please note our 'gentle' bridge session where we play about 15 boards on a Thursday from 10.30 to 1.00 might be ideal. This is designed to support players move from lessons into more competitive bridge as well as for members or visitors to have a shorter, enjoyable game.

You can come along to a session without booking or having a partner as we have a host system in place. Hope to see you there!

WELCOME TO STANNINGTON BRIDGE CLUB

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.

If you are looking for a partner please contact Stephen Reay on 07941 373318 or by email StephenReay@sky.com.
