Returning live to the Bridge Room, Friday Morning with Paul offers almost 3 hours of supervised play, set hands and the (in)famous bidding quiz, all in the friendliest atmosphere. Open to bridge players of all levels, there is always something new to be learnt, a play to be understood, and revelation to be had.

Come on you own, with a partner, or with a group of friends.

Starts – Friday 4th March
10am to 12.45pm
Members £10 per session
No need to pre-book, just arrive from 9.45am on the day.

 Congratulations!

Congratulations to our two youngest bridge members, Ned and Will Battersby who were fortunate enough to win the Surrey Schools competition last week at Wimbledon.

They were playing with two of Will’s friends from the under 16 squad which helped them to clinch victory over Haberdashers Aske school.

Excellent result boys – well done!
