Over the last number of years, the Regis Bridge Club have hosted a Bridge weekend in Bournemouth usually in April. Our next event will take place at the Marsham Court Hotel on the above dates. Our weekend consists of 5 sessions of duplicate Bridge over the weekend.

The basic cost for 5 sessions of duplicate Bridge, 3 nights Bed, Breakfast and evening meal in an inland room is £295 per person. The hotel has been extensively refurbished over the past three years and has always provided us with a good and consistent level of service.

Our 2025 event was well attended and popular with the guests. 5 sessions of face to face Bridge in comfortable surroundings make for a pleasant break. If you have not attended previously give us a try. Bookings can be made by contacting me by email:  collared.coh@gmail.com for further details.

We held the 2025 Championship pairs event on 28 January 2025. Fourteen pairs took part in a hard fought event. Winners were Colin and Doug Lavis with runners up of John Naylor and Ted Lowther who win the Jean Balderson Plate Trophy . Full results can be viewed in the usual place on the website. Prizes will be awarded at the annual dinner

This year we are going to trial a new format for the champion Pairs award. Instead of a one off event we will hold three events. The trophy will be awarded to the pair achieving the aggregate best score of their top two events. The sessions are roughly three months apart and the dates for these events have now been fixed in the club calendar. The first event will take place on 29 April. The second and third events will occur on 19 August and 2 December respectively. If the format is successful, then the 2026 event will add a further date so it becomes a once a quarter event.

"Regis Bridge Club" is the principal duplicate bridge club in Dunstable, So named from when it first opened in "Houghton Regis", a small town on the outskirts of Dunstable, Bedfordshire. The Club has invested in the ArcScorer wireless scoring system and can provide a result on the night immediately after completion of the last board played.

Although not currently affiliated to the EBU, duplicate evenings follow the rules laid down by the governing body. You can be assured of a competitive but friendly evening playing duplicate bridge.
