The Club reports the sad news that John Chamberlain died on Friday April 18th

He and his wife Annette had been members of this club for many years. He was a fervent bridge player playing most days at a variety of local clubs and continued to play enthusiastically even during his final illness.

His day job was as a chartered accountant, and besides bridge played hockey and bowls with considerable success.

For many years he helped to run the Chiltern Bridge League which offers a variety of competitions for local clubs in which Goring and Streatley participated.

As a bridge player he was always polite and friendly a good loser as well as winner, a pleasure to play against. He will be sadly missed.

We offer our condolences to Annette and their family

The funeral will be held at Sacred Heart Church, Henley  on Tuesday May 6th,at 2pm followed by refreshments at Phyllis Court, Marlow Road, Henley

Goring & Streatley Bridge Club is a small and friendly club that meets once a week to play competitive (ie duplicate) bridge. We normally have about 10 tables each time we meet and play in Goring Village Hall on most Mondays (including bank holidays) in the year. We start playing at 7.00pm and aim to finish by 10.00pm, having played 24 hands. Our players mostly come from the twin villages of Goring and Streatley, and from the neighbouring towns and villages such as Pangbourne, Upper Basildon, Whitchurch and Wallingford.

We welcome visitors at any time of the year, and, in summer, we are particularly pleased to see bridge players who are enjoying a boating holiday on the River Thames. Goring Village Hall is situated 100 yards from the River Thames that separates the villages of Goring and Streatley in the picturesque Goring Gap (see picture above). If you do intend to pay us a visit please let the club secretary know beforehand. The club secretary's telephone number is published on the 'Committee' page on this website.

The Club is affiliated to the English Bridge Union. EBU Masterpoints are awarded at most Club evenings and will be credited directly.

The Club participates in EBU/BGB Simultaneous Pairs events in July, September and January.

The Club is also a member of the Berks & Bucks Contract Bridge Association. Details of County Events are posted on the Club noticeboard.
