The Club Qualifying Heat for the Suffolk Championship Pairs will be held on February 13 as part of our normal Club Pairs. All are welcome and you will be asked whether or not you wish to enter the heat before play starts. You can only attempt to qualify once.

No need to sign up - just treat it as a normal club night. The full rules are below:

Championship Pairs 2025-6

The format for this year’s competition is as follows:-

Heats to be held in clubs during January/February 2026 - the heats should be F2F. There will be an online open heat for anyone who has missed their club heat, hosted by Abbeygate Bridge club on Monday 23 February 2026. 

All players who achieve 50% or more in a club heat will be eligible to take part in the Championship Pairs final at Elmswell on Sunday 19 April  2026.  

Players may only attempt qualification once - players will be asked if they wish to attempt qualification before play starts.

Any out-of-county players who achieve more than 50% in a heat will not be eligible to play in the final since the top three pairs in the final will be invited to represent Suffolk in the Corwen Trophy, which will take place F2F in Nottingham, on 30/31 May 2026. 

NGS 2-9 players can attempt qualification in the main competition as well as playing in the 9 High qualifier on 29 March 2026. If successful in both they can choose which final to play in.  The 9 High final will be online on 30 May 2026

We all make mistakes.

It is not unusual to accidentally give the wrong explanation of a bid or make a bid which isn't in line with your partnership agreement.

If you're not sure what partner's bid means NEVER say "I'm taking it as ..." That's giving partner Unauthorised Information (UI).

Trophies were presented at the annual Presentation Party, including the Susan Aldous Memorial Trophy won this year by Jim & Shirley. 

A donation of £60 was made to EACH, the East Anglia Children's Hospice, who responded with the following message:

Let me say just how incredibly grateful we are that you have chosen to support East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH), having donated £60 from Bridge Club event . Your generosity will enable us to continue to support families across East Anglia to access vital care and support when they need us the most. Our short break care gives families like Pat’s some much needed respite, allowing them the chance to rest and recharge for a few hours, knowing their child is being well cared for.

“Callum enjoys going to the hospice for an overnight stay. We think of them as a fun sleepover – something he doesn’t get the chance to do with family and friends.’’ Pat – Callum’s mum

We honestly cannot thank you enough for your kindness.
