Welcome to the Lansdown Club - we have wonderful facilities providing the opportunity to play Tennis, Squash, Racketball and Croquet in lovely surroundings
Bridge Nights currently run every Wednesday
Bridge is usually played in the enclosed Snug area of the clubroom, which ensures relative peace and quiet but still gives good access to the bar for drinks!
We are a friendly and sociable group, welcoming any members or non-members who are reasonably confident players with a knowledge of ACOL or SAYC bidding – you will need to be able to play ‘unassisted’ bridge however you can refer to crib notes to aid your bidding if this doesn’t slow the game down unduly. We use bidding boxes – if you are unfamiliar with non-verbal bidding we can show you how to use these.
Please read this document for a guide as to how the session runs – if you are not familiar with using bridge travellers and scoring, please read through the scoring guidance and don’t be afraid to ask for help on the night.
Sessions will begin at 6.45pm for a 7pm start, ending at approximately 9.45pm. There is no fee to pay. Non-members are welcome but encouraged to join the club as social members if playing regularly.
You will play with the same partner throughout the evening – come with your regular partner or ask in advance if you’d like to be matched up with a spare player. We would like to know numbers in advance so as to set out the correct numbers of tables – please sign up on our online Events sheet (see Useful Links in our members website) and/or contact the organiser. You can also ask to be added to the WhatsApp group used to coordinate numbers and partnerships for sessions.
