Stratford-upon-Avon Bridge Club extends a warm welcome to members, students, and visitors. We are a thriving friendly club located in Old Town.  

With around 400 members, we run a variety of bridge sessions 6 days a week suitable for both novice and experienced players.  We welcome new members and visitors.

We have an extensive teaching programme running from September to May each year and also have regular master classes.

The EBU have just published their annual league table of player sessions at their affiliated clubs and Stratford has climbed a whopping 7 places and broken into the Top 10 for the first time. These figures are based on masterpoint results submitted to them and therefore exclude our Assisted Play sessions. We ourselves had noticed a 20% uplift in numbers attending and it's very pleasing to see this reflected at national level.

This is in no small way due to the way that every single member has made the club such a friendly and welcoming place. Also, the hard work by many others: our TDs, teachers, board members and other volunteers. Thank you everybody.

For those who like numbers (!) etc, here is the link to the Top 50.

Kitchen refurbishment continues and the gents toilets are now closed.

Thank you for your patience during the refurbishment. The works will continue throughout July. Men should use the disabled toilet or the portaloo in the car park.

Friday morning 3 July - cancelled 

Due to some electrical work, as part of the refurbishment, we will be cancelling the Friday 3 July morning bridge session.

Friday evening bridge sessions cancelled

A reminder that all future Friday evening bridge sessions are cancelled due to insufficient numbers.

Thursday 9 July -  1.30pm - ECats Charity Simultaneous 

This is a normal pairs event, with all the table money going to the ECats Charities - British Heart Foundation and Kidney Research UK. If you would like to contribute more than £3.80 to the charity, please buy multiple tickets and hand to the TD on the day.

Tuesday 14 July - 7pm to 9.30pm - Mentored Pairs

This event will attract master points but there will be no impact on NGS. It is free for mentors and £3.80 for students; payable on the day. Please sign up at the club or email me. We need more mentors - please support it if you can.

Wednesday 15 July - 1.30pm - 3:30pm - Bid and natter 

The theme for this month's bid and natter is bidding weak hands.  This session is tailored for newer players looking to build on their relatively recent lessons. No need to book.
