I am very sad to inform you that Michael died suddenly, peacefully and unexpectedly at home on the morning of Saturday 24th May.

He was sitting in his chair at home waiting for Pat to bring him a cup of coffee. 

It seems that he experienced no pain which was a blessing for him.

We extend our sympathies to Pat, Suzy, Michelle and all his family.

The funeral, will be at Stockport Crematorium, Rowan Chapel on Monday 23rd June at 11:30am

After the cremation you are invited to join the family at Alma Lodge, 149 Buxton Road, Heavily, Stockport69+693+-

The Monday morning Bridge class was started in 1991 by Mike & Pat Parr and over the years has gone from strength to strength.

Mike and Pat welcomed members - and friends - back to the real Bridge table when the club restarted on July 19th 2021 following the Lockdown break. Initially, Covid safety measures were put in place to protect everyone and to assure members that MBH Bridge Club was safe for everyone.

In February 2025 the club was taken over by Adam Wiseberg (contact details below).  For the first few months results will be displayed on this site and on Adam's site https://www.bridgewebs.com/adamwiseberg/ 

This is a friendly club and with the return to normality it is a pleasure to be sitting down at tables enjoying the social (as well as the competitive) side of playing Bridge face to face. 

We start playing Bridge at 10.00am and finish playing by 12.45pm. 

On occasions there is a short lesson (about 15 minutes) and then we play Duplicate Bridge.

Light refreshments are available for people to help themselves (when playing Dummy - or if there is a sit out) throughout the morning.

There is no membership/joining fee and new members and visitors are most welcome. There is always someone available to play with for those who require a partner. 

For any further information or queries please contact Adam Wiseberg ON 07860 340054 OR by email adamwisebergbc@gmail.com
