| Welcome |
We are a welcoming and friendly bridge club catering for players of all standards. We run six pairs sessions per week. Master points are awarded. We also have classes for beginners and intermediates, and occasional instruction on specific topics.
For the more competitive players we have three teams in the Yorkshire Sunday League. Many of our players also group together to make teams of four that play in the Harrogate and District Bridge League against more local opposition.
Harrogate Bridge Club is located in the centre of this beautiful spa town. The club has its own private licensed premises and is well established with over 250 members.
Visiting pairs are always made welcome.

| EBU Rule Changes 2023 |
From 7th August 2023
The EBU has introduced some new alerting, announcing and bidding rules.
The content of these books applies to all events held on or after 7th August 2023. Please be tolerant of players who don’t get all the updated procedures exactly right straight away – it’s meant to be an exercise in informing your opponents of your methods, not an excuse for trying to get one over on them!
