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.
