Individual Competition on Sunday 2nd March

We are running the club's annual Individual Competition on Sunday 2nd March at 1pm, at the clubhouse. The winner receives the Thompson trophy.

This is a fun and sociable event when you enter as an individual and play with a different partner in every round. Everyone plays the same simple basic ACOL system (no 5-card majors). Members of a wide range of abilities are very welcome to take part - the main criterion is that you can play at a pace of 7-8 minutes per board. 

See this page for further details and the entry form. Numbers are limited, as we need to make sure that we don't end up with a fraction of a table, so if you're keen to take part, please book early! 

Andrew Robson Day - Wednesday 5th March

We are delighted to welcome Andrew Robson OBE back to the club for another interesting, informative and motivational day.

Andrew is probably the best known bridge teacher and writer in the country. He provides daily tutorials online and writes columns for The Times and Country Life.

Join us for two teaching session starting at 10.30 and 1.30, lunch will be provided. For more details and to book click here
