Bawburgh Bridge Club

 The Club is well known for providing a friendly and sociable atmosphere and we cater for bridge players of all standards. 

This picture is from our Charity Pairs event in October 23.

Our main sessions are played at Bawburgh Village Hall on Wednesday & Thursday afternoons (starting at 1.30). We also provide Beginner lessons and Supervised Play on Wednesday mornings,  and Relaxed sessions on Monday mornings. To find us, click on the "Map" link under "About BBC".

 Programme of events.

Our events are shown in the Club Programme in the menu. Players are required to be seated by 1.20pm and play will commence at 1.30pm. Please therefore ensure that you allow sufficient time to arrive at the Club before 1.20pm.

Visitors are always welcome except for a few member-only events indicated in the Programme. 

All our hands are predealt.  We use Bridgemate electronic scoring for all our sessions. Our results are provided by Pianola, which we think offers the most comprehensive tool available for performance analysis.

We held another very successful bridge day in May. As usual we were very well fed by our caterer Jan Matthews.

Congratulations to session winners - Brenda Howlett & Phil Sutton and Graham Hardman and Matt Jackson

to Jane, Nicki, Bryony and Mervyn for a convincing win in the club's teams event in March

Here is a link to a Word document which is a standard convention card.

Please download and edit this so that both you and your partner can have identical forms at club sessions. For example you will need to specify whether you are playing strong or weak 2s.

We are now operating as a cashless club. We are using the BrianMas accounting system developed specifically for bridge clubs.

In summary, everyone has their own pot of money held by the club, which can be added to using bank transfers (or cheques if you don't have access to online banking). As you play sessions the table money will be withdrawn form your pot. Everyone can to see their own pool for money and the transactions using the link at the top right of the site. 

The Club is fully committed to protecting members data. There are new regulations with which we need to comply.

If you haven't already done so, please read this document and let us know whether you agree that we can include your contact details in the Club handbook. Without your explicit consent we will not be allowed to include your details.
