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 VENUE DUE TO WATER LEAK

As members will know there has been a catastrophic flood in the Club from a leaking water tank and this has resulted in the temporary closure of our Club premises.   It has now been agreed to hold our drives at the Estonian Club while our own Club is drying out and then being refurbished. There will be Bradford drives at the Estonian Club on

  • Tuesday afternoons (starting at 1.30),
  • Wednesday evenings (usual 7.10 start) 
  • Thursday afternoons (1.30 start) 
  • Friday afternoons (1.30 until 4pm)  Social bridge afternoon with Stephen 

 

  • Thursday evenings Additionally, at a different venue, Robert has already started to run his Thursday 'No Fear' evenings - at 7.10 p.m. These are at the Baildon Hall Club on Hallfield Drive (Instead of a table fee, players are asked to buy a drink!) 

The Estonian Club is very close to our own premises and its address is 8, Clifton Villas (off Manningham Lane).  You'll find it on the right just as the road bends.  There is a bar and tea and coffee  (at a charge).    We look forward to seeing you there!

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
