VENTILATION IN THE BRIDGE CENTRE

The Air Handling Unit installed in the main room is designed, in accordance with the CIBSE regulations, to supply fresh air for a maximum of 275 people in the room. CO2 monitors already installed are an additional benefit for monitoring the air quality. This plant is supplied by Thermodial and is serviced and tested quarterly each year. In addition to this an air purification enhancement system was installed in the room in October 2021. This is designed to further prevent the spread of viruses, including the virus that causes Covid19.

All about us

The Bridge Centre is a purpose-built complex located on Templeogue Road, opposite Cheeverstown House.

Set up in 1999 the Centre provides a fully equipped facility used exclusively for playing Bridge. 

The Centre is home to five different Evening Bridge clubs, confined to members of the Bridge Centre and is run by a different club each weeknight. (A visitor may play up to four times provided that they are signed in by a member of the Centre.) 

Please note that evening Bridge starts at 7:30pm and that all players are asked to be seated at their table by 7:20pm so that play can start on time.

Casual Morning Bridge is organised by the Bridge Centre on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of each week and play starts at 10:00am. 

Please note, however, that Morning Bridge does not take place on Bank Holidays.

Morning Bridge is open to all Bridge players, and both members and non members of the Bridge Centre are welcome. You can come without a partner. 

On some weekends  Regional or National competitions are run in the Centre. 

The Centre also runs its own Inter-Club Team of Four competition and the Marie Moran Pairs competition.

A Poem for The Christmas Party for Tuesday Morning Bridge

 

                                   BRIDGE AT TEMPLEOGUE 

                                  Tuesday bridge at Templeogue:

                                  A weekly treat for one and all.

                                  With  Ann and scary Valerie in charge,

                                  There's good behaviour in the hall.  

 

                                  My partner Peter is a gem,

                                  A novice with a master's flair.

                                  He bids with cheery confidence

                                  And manufactures tricks from air.

 

                                  What better way to spend our time,

                                  With doubles, slams and winter fun.

                                  So cherish partners, play the game

                                  And happy Christmas everyone.

 

                                  John Fanagan                                       12 December 2017

Rest in Peace Patricia
Rest in Peace Patricia

Patricia Tonge is still greatly missed by all her Bridge friends. Her organising of Monday Morning Bridge was done with a lovely smile, good humour and great efficiency. She was involved from the opening of the Bridge Centre right up to her death on 20th November 2023.  May she rest in Peace.

Thank You Evelyn
Thank You Evelyn

Evelyn Sharkey recently decided to retire from Wednesday Morning Bridge. She will be very much missed, and on the occasion of her retirement, Joe Moran presented her with a bouquet to thank her for her marvellous commitment to morning bridge from the start, and wished her well  for the future.

Thanks Mary!

Mary Pierce who has helped out immensely over the years in organising morning bridge is retiring. We would like to thank Mary for all her help over the years and wish her all the best for the future.
