This is the home page for the Stirling and Union Bridge Club. We run sessions for all abilities including classes for beginners. At present all of our sessions are face to face in the bridge club. If you are interested in joining our club, please contact our membership secretary Jean Bidwell at SUBCsecretary@outlook.com.  

The BAMSA BAM is raising funds for a project on increasing youth and school bridge in Scotland. Please consider supporting this online team on 27 April and give Board-a-match a go!  BAM is great fun (1 point to win a hand, 1/2 point for a draw and 0 points for a loss).

"Undos" in online Bridge

The SBU allows "undos" in the bidding but not in the play.

S&UBC are doing the same.

"Undos" are allowed for genuine "misclicks" and not for changes of mind or other mistakes.

The number of boards will depend on the number of tables.
