  What standard of play is expected?
This is quite varied.  You are expected to have played bridge before and have experience of duplicate. There is a wide range of abilities in the club. However we do welcome newcomers so if you are concerned whether you are ready for club bridge do come along. We can arrange for you to play with an experienced player who can then discuss with you after the session whether you are ready to play further. If we feel you need further lessons we can refer you to an established EBU teacher.

  What conventions do most people play?
This is quite varied, but most people play ACOL, with a weak (12-14) no trump.  They also play transfers, Stayman and Blackwood.

  In which way is duplicate bridge different from rubber bridge?
We always play duplicate bridge at the club.  In duplicate the hands are pre-dealt, and everyone ends up playing the same hands, against different opponents.  So at the end of the evening, you can see how well you have done compared to everyone else.  Once they've played duplicate many people find it a lot more enjoyable and challenging than rubber bridge. Many people who come to the club for the first time have never played duplicate before.

The club has been running for over 40 years. We have about 40 members. On a typical evening there are about 16-20 people playing - that's 4 or 5 tables
