| Wednesday Afternoon Supported Play |
Would you like to improve your bridge with a friendly group of like-minded players? If so you can join our Supported Play Sessions at 1.30pm every Wednesday , cost £5 per person. If you are planning to join us, you can now book a ticket in advance online via the club’s website or pay on the day.
Supported Play sessions of between 16 and 20 boards give you the opportunity to play bridge in a friendly environment where you can ask for help when you are not sure about bidding a particular hand. Please try to arrive around 10 minutes early so we can set-up a movement and get play started promptly.
There will be NO supported play on the afternoon of Wednesday December 18th .... so the last supported play session in 2024 will be on December 11th.

To download the app go to Applestore, Googleplay or your Appstore and search for iBEscore.
The interface is clear, colourful and very user friendly. Please download and explore the app.
The HELP section of the app contains details for players on how to enter scores. You can use a smart phone if you wish but most people use the tablets that we provide.
