Welcome to Carbis Bay Bridge Club

♠   ♣  Welcome To Carbis Bay Bridge ♠   ♣ 

Who We Are

Carbis Bay Bridge Club is predominantly a Rubber Bridge club which meets weekly on a Monday afternoon at The Memorial Hall, Trencrom Lane, Carbis Bay.

We usually play from 2pm – 5pm (but move to playing an hour earlier in the winter). We are a mixed ability group from complete beginners to seasoned hands and aim to be both friendly and inclusive with the more experienced players always ready to help those with less experience.

We also have a strong commitment to bridge teaching and development. We welcome complete beginners who want to learn the game but also deliver improver coaching to those members keen to advance their game.

On Monday afternoons members may just turn up and play without prior notice or needing to arrange partners, but we also hold one duplicate session a month (usually on the 4th Friday).
