We are starting a new Bridge Club in Greystones Bridge Centre which may be of interest to you.
It is called Rathdown Bridge Club and will run on Tuesday mornings, 10AM - 1PM, starting on Tuesday 3rd September 2024.
Note: While the bridge will start at 10AM, and end by 1PM, it will be important for you to be present by 9.45 AM, on any particular Tuesday, as the bridge movement will have to be set up to coincide with the number of players.
It will have 2 sections - main bridge section + a beginners / assisted bidding section.
It will be organised on behalf of the Bridge Centre by Brendan Martin.
The club will run similarly to the other Bridge Clubs which play in Greystones Bridge Centre.
Those wishing to join the club will need to become members of Greystones Bridge Centre when joining Rathdown Bridge Club.
The annual Bridge Centre fee is €65 and the Subscription for Rathdown Bridge Club is €20.
To join the Bridge Centre, there is a Bridge Centre Application Form which needs to be filled in and signed.
Brendan will have some at the start of the bridge session so you don't have to do anything in advance of the first time you play.
Rathdown Bridge Club will be a fully affiliated club to the Contract Bridge Association of Ireland. This means you will get the benefits of being awarded master points for your results, and you will be able to play in regional and national competitions, at your own level, should you wish to.
It will be €5 to play on the day, and cash prizes will be awarded on a weekly basis.
An additional feature will be that there will be a short break in the middle of the game, where 2 - 3 of the more challenging hands from the previous week, can be discussed and explained by the TD. This can be done on a democratic basis, where the players request a discussion on the bidding on board 3, the play on board 10 etc.
