Welcome to Chew Valley Bridge Club
Important Announcement

It is with great regret that after 38 years of bridge the Committee have reluctantly decided that with numbers dropping over a long period the club is no longer viable. The club closed at the end of 2024.

Information
Information

Chew Valley Bridge Club was founded as a members' club in 1987. It is a friendly duplicate club situated in the Chew Valley in North East Somerset, nine miles south west of Bristol. The club started off life playing in various venues in Chew Magna but since 2007 the club has been based in Chew Stoke. We always welcome visitors and potential new members and try to make them feel at home. The club is affiliated to the English Bridge Union (EBU) and the Somerset Contract Bridge Association (SCBA). From 2024 the membership subscription, will be £5 per annum with a table fee of £3.00 (£4.00 for non members). The club strongly supports the EBU’s 'Best Behaviour at Bridge' policy, details of which can be found under 'EBU Information'.

Venue: Chew Stoke Methodist Church Hall,
             Chapel Lane,
             Chew Stoke,

             BS40 8XD

Day: Thursday evening with play starting promptly at 7:00 p.m.

Table Fee: £3.00 for members which includes tea or coffee and biscuits

If you don't have a partner the club can often find one for you.


 

Further Information
Further Information

The Club meets on a weekly basis around 43 times a year playing duplicate pairs, except for three occasions when we have our Spring Teams, Summer Teams, and Autumn Teams evenings. The playing season runs from September through to the end of July. Every year we have a Summer Drinks Party and a Christmas Party. At the Christmas Party presentations are made to the Club's 'Player of the Year' and to the Club's 'Most Improved Player'. The winner of the 'Christmas Competition' is also awarded their prize.


If you can play bridge but haven't yet ventured into a club then give us a try at one of our regular meetings. This may well encourage you to become a member. We have players of differing standards but what unites us all is enjoying a fascinating game in a friendly atmosphere in a very comfortable venue.

Masterpoint Promotions

Congratulations to Peter Dawes who has been promoted to the rank of Advanced Master, joining Masters Jane Hall, Jackie Banks and Stephen Banks. All five have a long way to go to catch up the club’s 5* Master, Faith Stinchcombe.

Most Recent Winners

The Christmas spirit was good for Wendy Evans and visitor Roy Rowe who were top for NS with 70.56%. For EW Karen Norman and Julia Ross shone with 60.00%.

Player of the Year

A very long serving servant of the club deservedly won the trophy this year in the person of Stephen Banks who had the highest average percentage in the year and also attended on at least 15 occasions.

Most Improved Player

Debbie & Geoff Jones took home the trophy this year having made the greatest average score improvement from 2023 to 2024 and having attended at least 15 times in each of the two years. They have been very loyal supporters of the club.
