Chicago Bridge

Chicago is played on a Thursday (1245 for 1300 start, finish around 1530). The aim is to help people progress in their Bridge without pressure as well as enjoying social play. We offer mentoring and supervision during play for those that want it. The session is hosted, which means you do not need to bring a partner.

Competitive Duplicate

Competitive Duplicate is played on Tuesday evenings (1845 for 1900 start, finish around 2200) and Friday afternoons (1315 for 1330 start, finish around 1615). We generally have 5 or 6 tables at each session and play 21-24 boards. The sessions are EBU accredited and masterpoints are awarded. 

Gentle Duplicate

Gentle Duplicate is played on Mondays (1315 for 1330 start, finish around 1600). We generally have around 4 tables and play 16-20 boards. This session is not EBU accredited and is aimed at those who want to play bridge socially but as a change from Chicago. Until at least Xmas, the session is hosted, which means you can come without a partner and be guaranteed to play.
