Marple Duplicate Bridge Club

Thanks to Marple Golf Club for hosting us on our Annual Dinner. The wine flowed freely and 7 tables of players enjoyed some good sociable bridge.

People sitting South at our duplicate session last night were "lucky" enough to get this rare (only 1 in roughly 1,827) hand containing no honours, known as a "Yarborough".

We're all looking forward now to our Annual Dinner at Stockport Golf Club on 20th May, where we'll enjoy a lovely meal, washed down with a glass or two of wine, and some sociable bridge (hopefully with a few more high card points to play with).

On Sunday, eight of our members travelled over to Hale to take part in the Gazette Cup Teams event run by the Manchester Count Bridge Association.

12 teams played 44 boards, our Team eventually achieving 8th place.

Thanks to all those who represented our club at the event.

Many thanks to Marple Catholic Church for accommodating us for the past few years.

While they have some building work done, we have relocated to Marple Methodist Church and Quaker Meeting House on Church Lane.

Do come and join us in our new venue!

Great night of sociable bridge last night, with a post-Pandemic record NINE full tables of players enjoying 24 hands of cards!

Our Annual General Meeting was held last night,
attended by 26 people.

This was followed by Prize Giving
and the UNICEF Charity Pairs event.

Urgent ! Bridge is cancelled tonight due to the weather conditions.

We all had a great Christmas Party last night.
Many thanks to all those who worked so hard behind the scenes, one of whom went on to be one of our Winners after 24 hands of bridge!

Our next session is on Wednesday 8th January 2025.
If you are not already a member, make it your New Year Resolution to try us out.

A very happy festive season to all our bridge-playing friends.
