A Thriving Bridge Club on the North Yorkshire Coast

Introduction
Introduction

Scarborough Bridge Club is a friendly bridge club with over 100 active members ranging in experience from beginners through to experienced masters of the game. We run weekly sessions designed to meet the full range of our members needs from those looking for introductory lessons, or maybe a relaxed sociable game or those wanting to play in a serious competitive environment.

We have our own premises dedicated to the needs of the membership where we play face-to-face duplicate bridge four times a week. We also run online SBC bespoke tournaments on Bridge Base Online (BBO) for those who prefer the convenience of online play. We play every weekday, with sessions held throughout the day - mornings, afternoons, and evenings to suit all.

The Club has a Hosting System in place for the Monday, Tuesday and Friday session at the Club, so any member arriving without an arranged partner is guaranteed to find one. The Host Rota is available to view in the Members Area.

We offer a range of support services for new members including bridge lessons to improve players skills, and special "tutored” sessions for inexperienced players and improvers, where participants can ask for advice during play. They can then move on to our Next Steps events where they can play more competitive bridge unaided.

The Club has an extensive library of bridge books available to members and the more experienced players are always on hand to provide advice and guidance for anyone needing help.

We welcome new members whatever their experience and non-members are welcome to join in the face-to-face sessions held at the Club premises.

 

Feel free to have a tour of our website and then contact us to find out more about us, or come along to the club and introduce yourself.

Beginners and Key Skills Lessons 2024

Beginners and Key Skills Lessons 2024

After 30 weeks of tuition and playing sessions 17 students completed their studies on the 20th August 2024. They received a Certificate of Achievement and, after their "Class of '24 Tournament", which was held on Tuesday 27th August, they are now able to apply for membership of the Club.

We wish them many years of enjoyment playing Bridge and look forward to playing with, and against, them in the months to come.
