Sheffield Bridge Club

National Non-experts event

All our members below the EBU rank of Regional Master are invited to play in the Green-Pointed EBU Masters Pairs at Sheffield Bridge Club as we will be holding a heat of this event on Sunday 24 February.

The competition will be held at a number of venues across the country that day, probably twelve to fifteen venues. There will be two sessions of 24 boards of Match Pointed Pairs, starting at 1pm and finishing around 7.50pm with at least a half an hour break between sessions. We will charge £10 generally but just £9 if you pay in tokens. Tea and coffee will be free throughout but we are not providing any additional catering. Full Green Points will be awarded on a generous scale and even more so for those ranked below the level of Master as there will be an additional prize strata for such players.

Those ranked above Regional Master can play in other events in the Ranked Masters Pairs series the same weekend, but they all have to go to Peterborough for four sessions over both the Saturday and Sunday. Two years ago, we had Sandy Davies and Tom Gisborne winning the highest ranked event, the Premier Grand Masters Pairs! Several of our members have won others of these events.

Further details of the event can be seen on the EBU web site at https://www.ebu.co.uk/masters-pairs

Sheffield BC has been confirmed to the EBU as a venue as we will have enough participants from Sheffield BC to make the heat worth running. If you might be interested in playing please could you let Barrie know via td@sheffieldbridgeclub.co.uk or 01629 584567 or via a sign-up list that will be posted at the club very soon.

Monthly Masterclass

Dominic is running a series of monthly Masterclasses.

These occur on the last Thursday of the month. Start time 10am prompt, finish time appx 12.30 (so not to clash with the afternoon session folks coming in). £10 per session.

Intended for anyone with NGS in the 50's or high 40's - or anyone who wants to win at bridge!

After-school club

Sheffield Bridge Club runs a Children’s Club from 4:00 to 6:00pm every Friday afternoon. The Club is run by Graham Jepson with help from club members. At least two adults at each session are DBS checked. The children play many different card games designed to familiarise them with the ranks and suits of a pack of cards and leads on to the playing of Minibridge and eventually Contract Bridge.

Regretfully, children under the age of eight can not be accommodated.

The Club maintains a fully comprehensive Safeguarding Policy - a copy of which can be found here.
