No Fear Bridge 

♠   ♣ 

if you are someone who has recently started learning bridge and you would like the chance to play without time pressure and with  someone to ask if you need help, then you might like to play in our No Fear Sessions every Thursday Evening at 07.10pm.  There is no need to book, just turn up – there is a host so you can play without a partner.  These Thursday evenings are also suitable for anyone who prefers to play a relaxed game and everyone is most welcome.

TEMPORARY CLOSURE DUE TO WATER LEAK

Some of you may have already heard but there has been a catastrophic flood in the Club from a leaking water tank. Half of the playing room is badly damaged -especially the ceiling - also the flat and part of the ground floor playing room, The bar area has also suffered some damage......fortunately not the computer area

So we are very sorry but obviously we shan't be able to play bridge for some time and all the drives will be cancelled - and the AGM postponed - until the building is habitable again.

As soon as there is some positive information, we shall pass it on to you by Pianola email and also post a notice on this website.

Stuart's Celebration New Year's Day 2025

Musing over the possibilities of a cause for celebration, we must have all wondered if it was  a special birthday, another accolade/promotion from the EBU perhaps.....

Consequently it came as a total surprise when Stuart divulged the reason for this special event.   Exactly 50 years ago to the day, he had played bridge at the Club for the very first time.   A student at the time, he waited until he had completed his course at Oxford, before coming back to Bradford, eventually becoming not only one of our top players but also a very extremely knowledgeable director, both locally and nationally.

It was a splendid way to start the New Year, with some gentle, sociable bridge and a generous selection of 'nibbles', and punch and wine all provided by Stuart..... and best of all it was a very appropriate occasion to celebrate that very important day -for all of us really - in 1975

Thank you so much Stuart.  It was a lovely evening.

WELCOME TO BRADFORD BRIDGE CLUB

Jane Hitchen

As members will know Jane died recently.

We now have the details of Jane's funeral.  It will be held on Feb 6th. at 10.30 a.m. at Shay Grange Crematorium and afterwards at Shipley Golf Club, Beckfoot Lane, Bingley.

While she hadn't played at the Club for some time many of you will remember Jane. She was a very personable, friendly lady and she will be remembered for her unfailing support of the Club and her willingness to help - particularly with the catering for the Intercity events - whenever she was able to do so.

We send our sincere condolences to her family and friends.
