New Season starts Wednesday 4th September 2024

The RDS Bridge Club commenced the new bridge season on Wednesday 4th September in the RDS Library

Visitors can be invited on club nights, but not on major competition nights which are confined to club members only.

Members have volunteered to act as host or hostess for all club nights, so that everyone is assured of a game, even if they do not have a partner.
A Big Thank You to all those who have volunteered.
