The Club meets in the Larruperz Centre in Ross-on-Wye.

Monday evenings Bridge starts promptly at 7.00 pm.

We ask players to arrive by 6.45 pm  to allow the directors to organise the various forms of duplicate bridge that we play and set up the  Scoring system and Bridgemates accordingly.

We also have a Friday afternoon session which meets at 1.15pm for a 1.30pm start for a more relaxed Bridge session.

Both sessions are open to all members, and visitors are welcome.  As we do not run a hosting system, please contact us beforehand if you are planning to come by yourself.

 There is a table fee of £5 for Members and £6 for Visitors.

Visitors are welcome to most sessions (up to three times per year), but should contact one of the committee to check that they may attend, this is particularly relevant to Simultaneous Competitions which have specific restrictions. 

A new course of bridge lessons for beginners, or returners, is going to start in September at Much Birch Community Hall.  The course consists of two terms, each containing 12 lessons.  See the menu item on the left for all the details.

Steve's Replays - investigating/playing and discussing already played hands with Steve Lawrence

These sessions will take place on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of the month, as follows

Time:-   10am to 12 noon  

Venue:-  37 Alton Street HR9 5AG

This will be one off sessions where we will play several selected interesting hands from the previous Monday night's bridge   Then discuss them and compare our result with those from Monday and see what we could have done to improve our result. We will probably take 20 - 30 mins for each hand so plenty of time for discussion.

At a nominal cost of £3 to include refreshments.

There is a library of bridge books which are available for members to borrow and is held by Rob Wilkinson.  The list can be found under the Bridge Library menu item.  Contact Rob via email on rkwilkinson@btinternet.com with your requests.

Birches Bridge Club has started a new Gentle Bridge session on Tuesday afternoons from 2-4pml.  The sessions will be held in the Much Birch Community Hall, Post Code HR2 8HT.  

Whether you want an afternoon of sociable bridge, or you want to improve your bridge skills, Gentle Bridge is open to all.  Please arrive 10 to 15 minutes before 2:00 to allow the director to organised the movement and any partnerships that are required.

The session is not a teaching session, but help will be available if required, and it will be hosted so you don't need a partner and you will be guaranteed a game.  It is designed for new players and those who want a more relaxed introduction to club bridge.  A limited number of hands will be played.
