The Bell Trophy is the de facto Club Championships and was played on the afternoon of Sunday 12th April 2026 .  24 hands were played .

Winners of this years Trophy are Richard and Paddy, and winners of the handicap competition were Mary and Penny, congratulations to them all.

Thanks to Pauline for organising  the event, Peter for scoring and Jackie for directing us through the every tricky Howell movement, seemingly without incident.

The village hall is being used a a polling station on May 7th and as a result our normal club session will go online. 

Please watch this space for more information, a link will be issued nearer the time for players to access the session on RealBridge.

Once again we are very happy to invite members and visitors to our legendary Bridge Lunch at Stansfield Village Hall  thanks to the fantastic Culinary Duo of Gerry Ford and his daughter Emily.

Guests will enjoy  a delicious 2 course lunch followed by a fun afternoon of Bridge. Cost £25 per person. 

Timing 12.00 for 12.30pm on Wednesday 13th May . Sign up in advance is essential click HERE . Members will be charged to account visitors please bring cash to pay on the day..

As I am sure you are aware one of our unique  features at this very friendly club is our delightful social break in Bridge on a Thursday Evening, when we can enjoy a glass of wine or beer, and a delicious selection of nibbles produced by our members.  We have a nibbles rota on which people can sign up , this is physically kept in the village hall and is available for sign up every club session. We have decided to add this information to the calendar in the website, so if you aren't sure when you have promised to do the nibbles you can check on there.! Of course if people change their dates or swap with others it will be incorrect, so please bear that in mind , you can always drop Wendie an e mail if that happens - e mail address in the committee list.. By the way the cost of doing the nibbles is now reimbursed at a flat rate of £30, to reflect the ever increasing cost of food. If you havent done them for a while do have a look at the list next time you are at the club, there are always gaps to be filled.

For those who love Bridge and Golf the perfect event, a whole day playing first Golf, and then Bridge with a Fish and Chip Lunch in the middle !

£60 a head to include everything - reductions for members of the Newton Green Golf Club.
