Friendly Events

Players must be seated by 1.20pm

These are county organised competitions aimed at new and inexperienced bridge players and regular club players who want to play in a relaxed environment. We make special efforts to ensure that the events take place in a friendly atmosphere and so, no matter how inexperienced you feel you are, you can be sure of a warm welcome. The county reserves the right to refuse entry to more experienced players whose presence might alter the nature of the event.
