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.

| East Grinstead Basic Bridge Pairs |
The SCCBA East Grinstead Basic Bridge Pairs was held at the East Grinstead Rugby Club on Saturday November 2nd and was its usual successful, if noisy, event.
There were 23 entries (slightly up on last year) and several new faces. Crawley Club had plenty of players in the points, most notably, Karina and Gloria (pictured) who were 2nd!

Thanks to everyone who was able to come along to make the event what it was. See Sussex web-site for article and full results.

| 'Hand of the Week' |
After a gap of many years (apart from the prolific efforts of past club member Iain Climie), thanks to George C. we have a new addition to the Hand of the Week page! It's a slam hand from Friday September 20th. Subsequently, Gordon has produced a commentary for a hand played at the club on Wednesday October 23rd.
Thanks, both. Does anybody else fancy having a go?

| Bridge - It’s a Big Deal (BiaBD) |
As part of the EBU's BIABD project, Crawley BC had a playing table at Haskins Garden Centre all day on Sunday 7th September. It was a successful and enjoyable day.
It generated a steady stream of interest and we were able to promote the great game in general and our club and teaching activities in particular.

Many thanks to Dave and all the staff at Haskins for being so friendly and welcoming. Thanks also to all the CBC members who volunteered for the play rota and to Helen and Gordon especially for making the arrangements.
