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.

June bridge

Tuesday 2 June - 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 £4.80 for students; payable on the day.  We need more mentors - please support it if you can. Please sign up at the club or email the chaiman

Wednesday 17th June - 1.30pm - 3.30pm - Bid and natter 

The theme for this month's bid and natter is Bidding with an unbalanced hand and playing / defending when in a suit contract.  This session is tailored for newer players looking to build on their relatively recent lessons. No need to book.

Thursday 18 June -  1.30pm - One off teams event - Hosted Pair available 

You can turn up as a pair and be teamed up on the day or come as a team of four. We have a host pair, so all pairs are guaranteed a game. To be eligible to be called the winner, no more than two team members can have NGS 10 or higher on 31 August 2025. You can still participate if you don’t meet this criteria.

Monday 22 June - Kitchen refurbishment commences

The 4-6 week project to refurbish the kitchen and toilets commences 22 June.

Table money will be reduced by £1 over this period, to recognise the temporary inconvenience. Please do not buy extra tickets in advance because they will not be valid when the refurbishment is complete.

There will be no dishwasher for the whole period. Please bring in your own drinking vessel that can be washed at home or use paper cups provided.
