For the past few years, our online Bridge has been played in association with our friends at Brierfield and Warrington Bridge Clubs each Monday and Friday evening.  Sadly, Brierfield has decided not to support the venture any longer, and we thank them for their time and support.  However, Stretford and Warrington Bridge Clubs will carry on the online sessions, and we welcome players from Brierfield who would still like to play on a Monday and/or Friday evening.  Players can continue playing as an Online Member for £10 per year and the usual table fees.   Warrington and Stretford Cubs will be contacting players soon to confirm the details.  In the mean-time, if you have any queries contact Dave Tilley or Jim Steele and we'd be happy to answer them.

From 1st March table money will increase to £4, and winners will only be paid out for 1st places (not 2nd etc.).

Meetings will be held at 11.30 on the first Tuesday of each month.

Membership fees are now due (actually, for the year from 1/11/22 to 31/10/23).

For face-to-face bridge at the club, it's £25 for the year (this also covers online bridge membership).

For playing online bridge ONLY, the cost is £10 for the year.

If you use online banking, our sort code is 40-43-20 and our account number is 30784877 – HSBC Bank – Stretford Bridge Club Ltd.  If not, please make cheques payable to Stretford Bridge Club Ltd, at 66 Derbyshire Lane, Stretford, Manchester.

To apply for membership, please fill in a form at the club, to be considered at the subsequent monthly Committee Meeting.

Thank you,

The Treasurer.

We're now running an extra session on Friday afternoons, starting at 1.15. It’s aimed at players who haven’t played (much) bridge for quite a while, and people newer to bridge altogether.

With others to play with & against, and a few more experienced players on hand to advise, you’ll have a chance to practice bidding and playing in a duplicate session.   We can start as gently as you want, then gradually build up to real session play, at normal playing speeds.  We’re also looking for more experienced volunteers to assist, and players at other levels to join us as partners and opponents. Whatever your ability, there could be a role for you.

Please let us know if you’d like to come along and take part. You can ring Chris on 07960 245 440, email originalcheshirecat1987@yahoo.co.uk or complete the form below.

Monday and Tuesday afternoon sessions are held at Adam Wiseberg Online Bridge, please click on the links. 

Payments for these two sessions should be made directly to Adam.

Over the past few weeks, attendances have dropped which means that the session is not viable to run. 

A number of players have been on holiday and bridge weekends and holidays have also resumed.

We have therefore reluctantly decided to cancel the Sunday morning sessions for the next few weeks.

If we can guarantee enough players to make the session viable we will reintroduce it later in the year.
