At each meeting, members assemble from 9.30am, when light refreshments are available. We then play Duplicate Bridge (14 – 18 hands). This is an activity for experienced bridge players. Average attendance is 24, but we have been known to have as many as 36 in a session.

Members ideally arrive with a partner (we cannot accommodate odd numbers) but we do have a mechanism to help members who do not have a partner for one reason or another to find a partner. Although the bridge is taken seriously, the atmosphere is welcoming and friendly and, while competitive, there is no hint of undue aggression!

There is a small weekly charge to cover expenses and room hire, and members will be expected to either provide or purchase a bidding box (about £8) although we do have a number of spares for emergency use.

New pairs, or new individual members, who would like to come along should contact the group leader.
