Leeds Bridge Club

Leeds Bridge Club Trust, located within the Moor Allerton Sports and Social Centre, is a friendly and active club dedicated to the game of bridge. Affiliated to the English Bridge Union and the Yorkshire Contract Bridge Association, Leeds Bridge Club offers a range of face-to-face bridge sessions throughout the week, catering to players of all levels.

For those new to the game, the club provides courses for beginners and improvers, creating an inclusive environment for everyone to learn and develop their skills. The club's website has detailed information about their Classes and Supervised Sessions, ensuring members have all the necessary information to participate.

The face-to-face sessions offered by Leeds Bridge Club include 'Chicago' on Mondays at 10. 30 am (Hosted), 'Pairs' on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7. 30 pm, 'Gentle Duplicate' on Wednesdays at 1. 45 pm (Hosted), and 'Stepping Stones' and 'Chicago' on Thursdays at 1.

00 pm. Additionally, there is 'Gentle Duplicate' on Saturdays at 1. 00 pm. It's important for players to arrive at least 10 minutes before the scheduled start time for 'Pairs' and 'Gentle Duplicate' sessions to allow the tournament directors and scorers to set the correct movement and ensure smooth gameplay.

On Tuesday and Thursday evenings, Leeds Bridge Club members have access to the MASSC bar, which opens at 7. 00 pm and closes before the start of play. The bar offers a variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, as well as teas and coffees.

In addition to their face-to-face sessions, Leeds Bridge Club also established a virtual bridge club on Bridge Base Online. However, due to low numbers, this particular session has been temporarily suspended. The club expresses gratitude to all who supported the online matches and acknowledges the existence of alternative options.

Leeds Bridge Club Trust is affiliated with the Yorkshire Contract Bridge Association and the English Bridge Union, providing members with opportunities to participate in a variety of events. The YCBA and EBU organise both face-to-face and online events for players of all levels. The club's website provides links to these organisations' websites, where members can find more information about upcoming events.

Leeds Bridge Club Trust maintains an active presence on Facebook, keeping members updated with news, events, and achievements. Members can visit the club's Facebook page for the latest updates and interact with fellow bridge enthusiasts.
