  A warm welcome to members, newcomers, students and visitors
Pro-Am Pairs

Many congratulations to Ursula Bowler & Julie Anderson who won the Pro-Am Pairs event on Wednesday 18th June. Jane Dulieu & Richard Sills came second, and Sue Burge & Peter Schroeder came third, so very well done to them too. The full results, which were handicapped, can be found here.  

 

It was a hot evening, with everyone in their summer clothing. There was some discussion as to who was wearing the most colourful outfit. This photo is so that you can judge for yourself - Ron (on the left) or Andy?  

Pamela Fletcher

We are very sorry to learn that Pamela Fletcher died unexpectedly on 15 June 2025. Our thoughts are with her husband Roger, and their family.

Peggy Manuell

We are very sorry to learn of the death of Peggy Manuell on 3rd June 2025 at the age of 94. She was one of the few Honorary Life members of the Oxford Bridge Club. Read here for more details of Peggy's contribution to the club.

New Relaxed Session Starting 1st May

A new Relaxed Session is being launched on Thursday evenings to run along side the Supervised Play. The Relaxed Session will be for players who want to improve their game but don't feel confident enough to play in a full club session.

Bridge for All students will receive 5 vouchers to attend either the Relaxed Session or Supervised Play free of charge. For anyone else wishing to join either group the fee is £4. This will give new and returning players an ideal opportunity to get used to playing at the club in a non-competitive environment. Do come and join us, you don't need to book just turn up.

Playing Bridge at the Clubhouse

We are playing face-to-face (F2F) bridge at the clubhouse on the following days:

Monday mornings:  this is a hybrid session with two sections playing the same set of hands - one section playing at the club, and the other on RealBridge.

Tuesday mornings:  this is a Gentle Duplicate session with restrictions on experienced partnerships.

Wednesday evenings: duplicate pairs, except 1st Wednesdays when we play teams; John Deech pairs on 4th Wednesdays. 

Thursday evening Supervised Play sessions are at the clubhouse and must be prebooked. Click here for more information about Supervised Play sessions

Thursday evening Relaxed Sessions are at the clubhouse. No need to book in advance.

Friday mornings: this is a hybrid session with two sections playing the same set of hands - one section playing at the club, and the other on RealBridge.

Friday evenings: cross-Imp pairs on 1st Friday evenings only. Must be booked in advance. Not hosted. 

Saturday Social: an opportunity to play relaxed bridge on Saturday afternoons at the Club.

As always please check the calendar for details. Pay for F2F sessions by card when you arrive at the club (except for 1st Friday evenings and Thursday evening Supervised Play which must be booked in advance).

Free tea and coffee is available at every session; the bar is open during the evening sessions. 

All sessions (except 1st Friday evenings) are hosted, so you can come along without a partner. Visitors are very welcome.
