Welcome to the web site of Hellesdon & Taverham Bridge Club. We are primarily an online club and play club pairs duplicate bridge on Monday evenings on Realbridge.  We start at 7.00 and request that pairs are at their tables just after 6.45.

We welcome guests and new members at any time, but ask that guests play with a member if the evening is a "Sim Pairs". There are six of these events throughout the year.

We also play Face to Face 2 to 3 times per year at a selected venue, these start at 10:00 am. 

We strive to provide a friendly atmosphere and to cater for novices as well as more experienced players, as such we discourage psyche bidding.
