Play Bridge and Socialising
Mon
Hello! If you are looking for a friendly group to play the card game Bridge online (you can live anywhere in the world) or to play bridge face-to-face/in person (Ascot/Reading area of England only) then this group could be what you are looking for.
We are a friendly group who mainly play Bridge Online on Mondays at 7pm GMT (or occasionally 7pm GMT on Wednesday or 9pm GMT on Sundays with another group). For Online games we play using the BridgeBase website, and verbally chat using WhatsApp or BridgeBase video (occasionally on Mon/Wed) or Zoom (Sun). Note: Contact Dave if interested in the Sunday game which is held most weeks (though this event is not actually announced here) - this game uses the Standard American bridge system only.
Note: As I say above, for online games you can live anywhere in the world!
For our Bridge you will need to have at least a basic or reasonable knowledge of the game... If you have that then why not give us a try? We welcome players for social bridge games from anywhere - we currently have members from England, Ireland, elsewhere in Europe, and North America.
Further details:
NOTE: This is a friendly group available to all. So, to keep things simple, most play Acol (as documented by Cohen/Lederer) with few conventions, but we also have several members who prefer to play Standard American (and more who are able and willing to play either Standard American or Acol). Of course, you can agree more with your partner, but the aim is to keep it standard and simple. The conventions and key bids we use are detailed at the bottom of this page.
Happy to show you how to use the Bridge Base site before you play in one of our online sessions if you have not played using this site before.
If you are interested in playing bridge face to face we can send you details (if relevant to you). *Note: As I say, face to face bridge is only held occasionally with this group currently - in the Ascot or Reading areas of England. This game is an Acol bridg
