The first event on the competition calendar for 2025 is Carole's Trophy

in memory of Carole Green

Saturday, 18th January at 1pm

This event is only for players whose NGS (National Grading System) rank is 8 or lower (i.e. 2 to 8 incl.)

You can check your NGS ranking by logging on to your EBU account or email lbclub.4a@gmail.com and we'll confirm it for you

This is a great opportunity for less experienced players to enter a competition that is not open to the higher-ranked players

Competitions don't need to be daunting - they can be fun! It's just like a regular club session but without the experts

There might even be cake!

A list will be going up on the notice board or you can email lbclub.4a@gmail.com and ask to be added to the list

WELCOME TO LYTHAM BRIDGE CLUB

Lytham Bridge Club is located in the heart of Lytham St. Annes in our own purpose-built clubhouse bungalow. The club has a large comfortable playing area and all the facilities you'd expect from a well-supported club - a car park and ample street parking, easy access to the building, facilities for the disabled, and catering facilities with five star accreditation.

Please be aware that some of our members might be more susceptible to germs than others.

For this reason, and out of consideration for all members, we respectfully request that you do NOT attend any bridge sessions if you are suffering from a cold, cough or any other condition that could be transmitted. 
The handling of cards and bidding boxes makes this particularly relevant.

Thank you for your understanding, especially as we are now in the colds and flu season, not to mention the dreaded Covid which is still with us.

Your committee is working hard to make sure everything runs smoothly.

Club members are invited to help with the day-to-day upkeep of the Club.

Some examples of ways in which members can help are:

If you don't already, could you assist with card dealing or be on the Host rota?

Would you be interested in training as a Tournament Director and/or scorer?

Could you help keep the outside space and car park area tidy?

We welcome any suggestions to make LBC an even better club than it already is.

Your Club needs YOU!

We are affiliated to the English Bridge Union, which means our members benefit from the support offered by the country's governing body. Our members automatically become members of the EBU so they have the opportunity to earn master points and are able to monitor their personal progress and compare it with other local and national players. They can also play in EBU-sponsored events. Lytham Bridge Club is over 60 years old so we have plenty of experience to help our members.
