Clifton Bridge Club Visitors Website - General Information
Club Information
The Club plays at the Ansdell Institute and Social Club, Woodlands Road, Lytham St Annes, Lancashire, FY8 4BX. Please note that the Club has a security key entrance so we need to know when you are coming to play so that we can arrange for you to be greeted. Contact Dave Johnston 01772 561596.

We play Duplicate Pairs to EBU Level 3 standard ,and adhere to EBU Best Practice guidelines, every week day evening. and Saturday nights (arrive no later than 7.15pm). On Wednesday afternoons we play a more relaxed game of Duplicate Pairs which is well-suited to new and inexperienced players (be there before 1.15pm). On Monday afternoons and Wednesday Evenings we have "Simple Systems" Sessions (be there no later than 7.15pm).

Table money is £1.50 for members and £2.00 for visitors. (Visitors can only attend six times before they have to become members of the Ansdell Institute). Subscription to the Institute is £6 and half price for pensioners, the Annual Fee to the Bridge Club is £7 (only £3 for the part year if you join in October, November or December).. There will also be a £10 joining fee for the Bridge Club and an £8 joining fee to the Institute. Players will have to have graduated from the Bridge Courses that we run, or be successful in having their playing ability assessed if they do not take the Courses. They are, of course, entitled to play as many times as they wish as non-members on normal Club evenings provided that they are members of the Ansdell Institute and pay the visitors' fee at the Bridge sessions they attend.

The Ansdell Institute is a non-smoking venue. Bridge players have access to the licensed bars within the Institute and we also have our own hot drinks vending machine which dispenses tea, coffee and hot chocolate for just 20p a cup. We also have a fridge from which cold drinks can be purchased. The bridge room contains 15 tables comfortably and has controlled heating and ventilation.
