There is ample on-site parking at the rear of the Club, particularly on Wednesday evenings

Play starts at 1315 on Mondays and 1900 on Wednesdays; we normally play 24 or 27 boards with play finishing around 1615 or 2215

Please note we do not operate a Host system but if you contact Linda for Mondays or Richard for Wednesdays they will try to pair you up.
Scores are normally posted on this site about half an hour after play finishes

Players looking for a partner for either session please give Barry a ring on 07442 132119. For general bridge enquiries please email ras15h@virginmedia.com or see our Facebook page

On-line bridge is also available on Thursday evenings starting at 1915 using the RealBridge platform; details of how to take part are shown in the adjacent column

Board 7 from 26^th February: Why were only one pair in the room in game? North opens 1S after both South and West pass. Based on the final contracts at the other tables, it looks like 2 Souths then passed; 2 Souths responded 2S which was then passed out; and 5 pairs ended in 3S probably after a 1S 2S 3S invitational sequence. So, after East passes on the first round of bidding, what should South bid and how should North respond?

Congratulations to Jenny Kendall and Richard Sissons for winning this years Ladder Pairs Competition. They scored 63.22% with Barry Quinnell and Eugene Hood a close second on 62.79%. Third were Daran Steele and Geoff Smith on 62.14%.
