The objectives of the WCBA are to promote and further the interests of bridge in the County and to organise Contract Bridge competitions. This Web Site will include details of future events, results of County competitions and other information concerning the organisation of bridge in the County.

The Monday County Bridge is Getting Bigger and Better

We currently play every second and fourth Monday at The British Legion Club, Worcester where we have a friendly and competitive evening of Bridge. Why don’t you come along and give it a try?

But hold on - from October 2026 we are planning to hold an afternoon event at Hallow Parish Hall on the first Monday (5th October) starting at 1pm and on the 3rd Monday (19th October) we are going to hold an Online event using RealBridge – the platform that best replicates the typical bridge experience. Play will start at 7pm. It would be great if you could join us for these sessions.

In the meantime, over the summer, we will be continuing to play every second and fourth Monday as mentioned above. The venue is The British Legion Club, Cornmeadow Lane, Claines, Worcester, where Worcester Bridge Club plays on Wednesday evenings.

Please arrive before 7pm, so bridge can start by 7pm if possible.

If you plan to play, please notify Dennis Loynes on 07773 365760 or by e-mail to: dennis.loynes.dl@gmail.com (But if you forget to book don’t worry – you'll still be welcome.) A list of players registered for the next event can be found here.

The charge will be £3 per player, which will include tea/coffee and biscuits in the interval.  The County Treasurer will invoice you periodically for the evenings that you play (i.e. cashless on the evening).

The bar will also be open for refreshments, particularly after play when interesting hands may be discussed!

The 2026 AGM was held at British Legion Club, Cornmeadow Lane, Claines, Worcester on Monday the 8th of June at 7.00pm. Here are links to the agenda, the accounts, an appeal from our Chairman & the Minutes.

Eileen Oakley & Nicola Downes organised a bring a child along to a taster session in the October half term holiday. It was an incredibly successful day, with 16 children participating in the morning and 11 in the afternoon. They all had a taste of using Bridgemates, scoring, playing No Trump hands and suit contracts. They showed maturity and respect for their younger players and, as one of the children said in delight after winning some tricks, ‘Victory is ours!’ and that was how the day felt for all the organizers. Bewdley Bridge Club intends to continue the theme of Introducing Children to Bridge by offering another day during February Half Term and once a month promoting a Family Bridge session. All these up-and-coming events can be found on the Bewdley website. 

Nicola Downes has written a Easter 2026 Edition. of the WCBA Newsletter. Previous editions of the Newsletter can be found under the Information/Worcestershire Bridge News menu item.

At the Ranked Masters Pairs the Premier Grand Master Pairs and the Grand Masters Pairs were combined. Chris Taylor & David Wing came 5th overall and were the 3rd placed Grand Masters pair.

Well done to Chris & Joyce Taylor for winning the Edgar Foster Cups. We came close in the teams competition as well but were just pipped by Warwickshire.

Mike Willoughby was a Member of the team which won the Swiss Teams at the Oxfordshire Congress.
