Welcome

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.

Congratulations to Martin Jones and Abbey Smith for their great performance in Latvia at the European championships

Congratulations to Martin Jones and Abbey Smith for their great performance in Latvia at the European championships.  They qualified for the World Championships next year in Barbados and narrowly missed winning a medal.

Maybe we should all go to Abbey’s lessons when she next teaches at the club.

One of their best boards came from Round 12. It is not easy to keep concentrating when you are playing 8 hours of bridge a day (64 boards) for 7 days.  Martin managed to do this to find the only lead to beat the Grand slam bid by the opps.

 

 

July bridge

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 evening bridge sessions cancelled

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