Welcome to Berwick-upon-Tweed Bridge Club

Berwick-upon-Tweed Bridge Club is affiliated to the Scottish Bridge Union, plays in the East District and is a member of the Borders Association of Bridge Clubs.

From September to May, we run afternoon bridge at the Parish Centre on BBO tournaments on Tuesday evenings and face-to-face tournaments at the Parish Centre on Thursday evenings. 

During the summer, tournaments are run on Tuesday evenings on BBO and on Thursday evenings at the Berwick Parish Centre.

We are an SBU Virtual Club, meaning we can charge an entry for our BBO tournaments and award SBU master points: our tournaments are run by SBU_E_BER. Any SBU member is welcome to participate as a guest, although if you wish to play regularly please ask to join the club.

Visitors

Visitors are very welcome - if you need a partner, or teammates on team nights, contact Christine McCreath on 01289 386302 or by email.

Handicaps

Many of the club competitions have been traditionally been handicapped. The results of the last three years of club competitions are used to compute the handicaps and the process is probably more scientific than the results.
