We are starting a new Beginners Course which will run on Tuesday evenings 7.00pm - 10.00pm starting on Tuesday 7th January.
The course will be delivered by English Bridge Union (EBU) qualified teachers using multi-media delivered presentations combined with practical play sessions.
Cost £30.00 Enrolment Fee plus £5.00 per lesson.

Participants will be provided with a binder and printed course notes from each lesson. The cost of these is covered by the Enrolment Fee.

If you would like to attend the course please complete the form below.

A new regular Tuesday Evening session begins on 19th November.

The session will be 'relaxed', initially playing circa 18 boards.

If numbers allow we will also provide a practice table for anyone wishing to come along but feels they are not ready to play in the 'competetive' session.

All members are welcome.

This year we are running the 'President's Cup' competition over two Friday Afternoon sessions on Friday 22nd November and Friday 6h December
This is a Pairs competition.  To qualify the winning pairs must have played in both sessions. Substitutes are not allowed. There is no obligation to play in both sessions, you just won't be included in the 'combined result' for the President's Cup.
Please note that both sessions will be run in the normal manner with individual session results uploaded to the EBU.
N.B. EBU Blue Points will be awarded in each session.
To ensure that everyone has a chance of a winning, the competition will be stratified to arrive at three winning pairs in each of three 'NGS Grade Ranking Groups'
NGS Group A – Aces to Tens
NGS Group B – Nines – Sevens
NGS Group C – Sixes – Two

After the First Round the leaders in each NGS Category are shown below. 

The second Round will be played on 6th December.  Still all to play for - these are just the Half-time positions.

We will be holding the usual 'Members Only' Christmas Party on Thursday 19th December - 7pm start - silly bridge and buffet.

Nick Woosnam has devised his ever so easy (sic) Christmas themed Q&A for which there will be suitable awards for winners and runners up.

The club will provide wine.

This is a free night - no table money.

Please put your name on the list at the club and indicate what you will be contributing to the buffet.

Assisted Play sessions continue to be run every Friday evening.  Session start time is 7.00pm

Complete beginners are welcome and will be able to play 'Mini Bridge', a simplfied version of the game without the need to know complex bidding systems. This will be a useful precursor before starting the Beginners Course of lessons scheduled for the New Year.

Once a month there will be a short lesson starting at 6.45pm before the start of play.  Many of our existing members may find these sessions useful as a refresher to previously learned subjects.

All members are welcome and may attend the lesson only if they wish.

Your committee has decided to run three competitions during 2024.

The SCBC Masterpoint Cup

This is an annual competition and all competitive sessions count. The winners are simply those with the most Masterpoints won. Results will be stratified based on NGS Grade as at 1 January 2024.
