Pro-am Pairs on Wed 19th March

We are running a Pro-Am Pairs event at the club on Wednesday 19th March, at 7.15pm. For those who are unfamiliar with this type of event, this is where we pair a stronger/more experienced player (a pro) with a weaker/less experienced player (an am). We have already recruited the pros, and are now opening the event to entries from the amateurs. There are a limited number of spaces, so if you'd like to play, please put your entry in as soon as possible!

Juniors' Success

Six members of The Oxford Junior Bridge club competed at The Annual 2025 Schools Challenge at Loughborough Grammar School on Saturday 1st March.

Michael Law and Zoe Pulver (top picture) finished 4th out of 14 in the pairs section and the team of Emrys Ward, Sofia Yu and Alex and George Conlon (left to right, bottom picture) finished 4th out of 16 teams in the Harry Scully trophy (the competition for juniors who attend different schools.)

Congratulations to all the juniors, who were delighted with their results and look forward to even greater things next year.

Improver Bridge Holidays

Guaranteed Events Ltd is running a four-night bridge break aimed at improvers in September, at the Charlecote Pheasant Hotel, Stratford upon Avon. These holidays are focused on both learning and playing, in a friendly and social atmosphere and at a more relaxed pace. They will be run by experienced and friendly teachers. They are not designed for complete beginners or tournament bridge players. Rather, they are aimed at players who have been learning and playing for at least a year and for players seeking to develop their skills and to gain confidence to play in competitive club duplicate sessions.
