New pairs are always welcome, though priority will be given to players currently playing in the competition if capacity is reached. New entrants will be placed on a waiting list with first come first served preference.

Prizes will be reintroduced to the winners of each division.

This monthly event (usually 4th Thursday) is suitable for players of all standards, as you are split into divisions, with biannual promotion and relegation.  The top division includes some international players, the 2nd division contains many county players and lower divisions have "typical" club players - something for players of all standards.

Substitute players: Due to the fixed movement it is essential that all entrants commit to all sessions.  Last minute subs are also sometimes required due to illness etc. If you and/or a partner are available to act as a sub for any sessions  please notify Graham.

Graham Cope's Intermediate Lessons will restart on alternate Friday afternoons, 1:30-3:30/4:00 from January 31st.

These lessons are specific topics aimed at a wide audience from those who have recently completed lessons to more established players who would like revision and new ideas. Each lesson starts with some basic, often revision, material.  It then progresses to new and more advanced ideas, together with more challenging practice hands and problems.  Hopefully something for everyone; although it would be impressive for all but the most able students to follow everything.

Each lesson will be self-contained, and based on specific topics.

Feb 14th – Raising a Major Suit to game: Pre-emptive direct raises (1M-4M) and  Jacoby 2NT with strong hands.  Basic cue bids and splinters will be introduced as these are important continuations after Jacoby 2NT to help find (and avoid!) slams.

March 7th – Leads against suit contracts: (Not) dropping unsupported Aces, leading trumps, attacking leads and when to make them.  

Please sign-up in the club, at least a week beforehand, if you would like to attend.

 Congratulations to the following club member who has gained masterpoint promotion in December

We want to make payments and deductions as easy as possible, allowing us to concentrate on playing bridge. Whether you are playing in person, or online, your payment for the session will be handled electronically. C&NWBC uses BridgeWebs to record participation in games of bridge, which then results in deductions from your C&NWBC account balance.

The preferred method is via electronic advance payment, either an ad hoc bank transfer or a regular standing order to the bridge club account. Alternative methods of payment can be arranged with the Treasurer if necessary.

A single payment account can be used for a couple’s play at the club.

Full details are available at Cashless Payment Process (updated 1st April 2024).

Weekly Wednesday evening 7pm (20 boards - Duplicate) - Log in at least 10 minutes before the start time please.
