About the club |
 Tavistock Millennium Bridge Club is a friendly, sociable bridge club that welcomes new members. its core activity is a session of duplicate bridge played every Thursday evening in the basement church hall of the United Reformed Church, Russell Street, Tavistock, Devon. Members are asked to arrive at the latest by 6.30pm and be seated, able to start play at 6.45 pm. There is a host system, so it is not necessary to arrange a partner in advance.
We also organise online Pairs leagues on http:www.Bridgeclublive.com (BCL) To participate in these leagues you will need to take out either full or online membership of BCL. There have also been informal online team matches both within the club and against other clubs which it is hoped will continue.
Finally the club provides a forum for members to organise and play social bridge either face to face, or online through BCL or other online sites such as www.Bridgebase.com
The club has recently invested in a new Bridgemate II system allowing instant table data entry and results at the end of the evening.

International Match - Up and Over v Down and Under |
RealBridge organised an international match on 4th July - free and open to all - with UK/Ireland/Canada vs NZ/SA/Australia. Your representatives were Angie, Norma, Carol W-S and Joe. It was great fun and both pairs acquitted themselves well with Angie and Norma pipping Carol and Joe. It is a 6 monthly event and your Chairman will let you know when the next one is - likely January.

Visitors and new members |
Visitors are welcome and may play up to three times before needing to become a member. The cost is £3 for one person or £5 for a pair. Please ring the Chair, Joe Pitt, on 07861638629 to let him know you are going to attend or use the contact form on the information section of this website.
New members are also very welcome both experienced and the less so. If you are planning on taking the step from having recently learnt bridge and are unsure whether club duplicate is for you don't worry - you can come along as a visitor and you will be partnered with an experienced but understanding member who will support you through that process. After all everyone playing had to make that step at one time. Again contact Joe who will advise and help.
We do not currently teach complete novices but anyone interested in learning bridge can be pointed towards an experienced teacher who can help.
