If you are looking to play competitive Duplicate Bridge in a warm and friendly atmosphere in one of the best Bridge rooms in the North West...then this is the Club for you! We welcome new members, prospective members and visitors to the area.

Clifton Bridge Club is an EBU Level 3  Club.  Bridge is played every evening except Sunday and also on a Monday and Wednesday  afternoons. Wednesday afternoons, Wednesday Evenings and Friday Afternoons are designated "No fear" events. These sessions are also relatively relaxed about the number of boards to be played  in recognition that less experienced players may be daunted by the prospect of having to play too quickly and thereby losing their enjoyment of the session. At these events all opening bids at the 2 level must be "strong" and conventions showing 2-suited hands are to be avoided. Saturday Evenings will also become a "No Fear" session in the near future. Please be seated and ready to play by 1.15pm for the afternoon session and at 7.15pm for the evening session.

 We now have a Hosted Session on a Friday Afternoon (so we can provide you with a partner) it is also an "Assisted Bridge" session where you can call for help with the bidding or the playing of a hand.

We can often provide you with a partner for a session if we know in advance....Call Secretary, Dave Johnston, on 01772 561596.

We have one of the most comprehensive Bridge Training programmes in the UK, offering great individual support to students on our Beginners' Classes, thanks to the 8 Teachers, who have been trained by the English Bridge Union, and who regularly turn out to assist Chief Training Officer John Duxbury. We regularly feature Improver Classes for the more experienced players. 

 Browse through our website and see what we have to offer...or, better still, call in at the Club on any weekday evening around 7, see for yourself and pick up a welcome pack!

The Club is open every weekday evening (arrive before 7:15) and also on Monday and Wednesday afternoons (arrive before 1:15). We also play on Saturday evenings and, quite frequently, we have competitions on a Sunday. We have three teams which play in the local League.

Whilst we understand that Bridge is a competitive game we also believe that it is also a social activity where you can meet new friends and have a good time. To promote this side of the game we have Special Bridge evenings where “fun” is the main theme for the evening. There are also plenty of special functions where the President, Sylvia Horner, invites us to join her for lunch and a game of Bridge at a local hotel or Golf Course!
