We are pleased to announce a new Wednesday Afternoon Face 2 Face session back at the club. 

The first session will be on Wednesday 6^th October at 1:00pm.

We will be playing a maximum of 24 boards with the aim of finishing by 4:00pm so that people can get home before the traffic gets too bad.

This session is for all members.

Our  Online Sessions - Monday Morning, Tuesday Night, Wednesday Night and Friday Afternoon - will continue until further notice

Our Club is located at

The club has introduced 'practicable' mitigation measures to reduce the risk of COVID 19 transmission within the club house environment however it is clearly not possible to play F2F bridge sessions and eliminate the risk from COVID 19 entirely.

Every member and guest attending the club sessions does so at their own risk.

The F2F sessions initially will be:

• Monday Evening at 7:15p.m.  Duplicate pairs.  This will return to the same format as previously with Swiss Pairs once a month as soon as this is feasible.
• Thursday Evening at 7:15p.m.  Duplicate pairs

The online sessions will continue until further notice.
