The race for the trophy has finished. Thirteen people qualified on the ladder by playing ten sessions (at least three on Fridays, at least three on other days and with at least three different partners).

Bridge can easily be learnt and played online and we are now offering a beginners’ course for those with no previous experience of the game. See more details, and tell your non‑playing bridge friends about it!
