Victoria Park is a combined bridge and tennis club with off-street parking in the St Leonard’s area of Exeter. The bridge section has its own playing room and use of a shared kitchen in the clubhouse. It is a small, friendly club keen to get back to the numbers we enjoyed before Covid. We have regular sessions on Monday and Thursday evenings and on Wednesday afternoons. Membership enquiries are welcome using the contact links provided here.
The Wednesday sessions are particularly suitable for new and improving players and of course for those who prefer day time sessions. If you have recently completed a bridge course or are a returning player then we offer face to face duplicate bridge with a small number of tables and advice and support from more experienced players.
The evening duplicate sessions are more competitive, play is faster, and detailed analysis of the play is not encouraged. However we maintain a sociable atmosphere, and take a break for coffee and biscuits. The standard of play is the same for both these sessions.
For a trial period, we are adding a further session to our weekly schedule of events. Entitled "Develop your Play", this is a joint activity with Exeter Bridge Club in an initiative led by Jeremy Child (for further details see the New Item below).
For Thursdays, advance booking is no longer required, but participants are expected to attend in pairs. For our other duplicate sessions players - visitors and members alike - should book a place by emailing Don Mitchell (vpdonmitchell@outlook.com) [for Monday play] or David Brice (davidanne.brice@btinternet.com) [Wednesdays] up to seven days in advance of the session itself. These booking arrangements supersede those set out in our Covid Policy which can be found elsewhere in this website. To avoid spreading infection of any kind, please do not attend a bridge session if you are suffering from a cough, cold, or any other respiratory symptoms.
