New Amersham Bridge Club
The New Amersham Bridge Club is one of the oldest and strongest Bridge Clubs in Buckinghamshire. The Club is affiliated to the Berks and Bucks Contract Bridge Association and the English Bridge Union. EBU Master Points are issued.
Good standard Duplicate Bridge is played every Tuesday evening using pre-dealt hands, enabling hand records to be distributed at the end of the evening. Results are normally produced within a few minutes of the end of every session.
Play starts promptly at 7.40 p.m. and usually ends by 11.00 p.m. 24 to 27 hands are usually played.
Each week one member acts as a host, so that players coming without a partner can be sure of a game.
Visitors are welcome but may play for a maximum of six times during a season, after which they are expected to apply for membership.
