Welcome to the Crawley Bridge Club web-site

The club meets on Wednesdays and Fridays for a 7:15 start at Grattons Indoor Bowls Club (off Grattons Drive in Three Bridges) to play duplicate pairs bridge in a friendly and comfortable atmosphere.  Occasionally, we have a teams or individual event. 

The club is keen to encourage you to play the great game of bridge.  We run teaching courses for novices, beginners and improvers.  On Monday evenings, we have an online BBO relaxed duplicate pairs session for less experienced players.  Further information on all of these activities can be found on the Teaching page.

For general information, please refer to the Information pages.  To contact somebody at the club, please refer to the Contact Us page or the Committee page.

Bridge - It’s a Big Deal

As part of the EBU's "Bridge - It’s a Big Deal" initiative, CBC will be visiting Haskins Garden Centre on Sunday 8th September.

We will have a playing table present throughout their trading day from 10.00 to 16.30.  In addition to the table, we will have promotional materials advertising CBC the club and also our forthcoming Beginning Bridge course and there will be volunteers on hand to talk to interested passers-by.

We will be collecting for Cancer Research UK which is the EBU sponsored charity.

If you would like to be involved in this and would be available to play for a couple of hours at some point in the day, please contact Helen to go on the rota.  An added incentive is that this qualifies you for a much coveted free CBC T-shirt.  Hard to resist!
