Home Page

Rugby Bridge Club welcomes Bridge players of all standards. We operate duplicate sessions, teach newcomers and improvers and organise five sessions per week at different venues. If you have played Rubber Bridge we can give you a short conversion course and you will be playing Duplicate in no time. We have our own monthly tournament alternating between pairs and team events.  Many of our members join teams and play in the Rugby and District Bridge League and there are opportunities to represent the Club in higher level competition.

RUGBY & DISTRICT BRIDGE LEAGUE SUMMER CUP

SUMMER CHALLENGE NIGHT – 24th JULY 2010

TOWNSEND MEMORIAL HALL, CLIFTON, RUGBY.

At Clifton on Saturday  the annual Rugby and District Bridge League Summer Event took place. The event invites each of the league teams (as far as possible) to enter a team to play all the others. Twelve of them entered and a lot of fun was had by all. The event was organised by Chris Malthouse and Marion Dixon prepared food for all. There was also liberal amounts of wine provided!
 
The eventual winners were The 4 Diamonds (Trudy Calero, Jim Shoesmith, Peter Iredale, Chris Cooper) with +57 International matchpoints (imps). Second were Rugby 'Eroes (Chris Malthouse, Peter Langley, Val Wormleighton, Patti Jarvis) with +47 imps and third the Lutterworth Rebels (Mike Allman, Judy Douglas, Colin & Paula Cramphorn) with +45 imps. Needless to say a very good time was enjoyed by all!

CARE OF BRIDGE TABLES

Bridge tables should be stored face to face to minimise damage to the surface covering

 

CONVENTIONS

At the committee meeting on 30th March 2008 a decision was taken to restrict the Conventions used in Rugby Bridge Club's events to EBU Level 3. What this means can be found in the ebu's Orange Book: http://www.ebu.co.uk/lawsandethics/articles/orangebook/default.htm

 CONDUCT AND BEHAVIOUR

Best Behaviour at Bridge is a set of guidelines that we have adopted from America

  • Greet others in a friendly manner prior to start of play on each round.

  • Be a good "host" or "guest" at the table.

  • Make bridge enjoyable for yourself, partner and opponents.

  • Give credit when your opponents make a good bid or play.

  • Take care of your personal grooming.

  • Ensure that your mobile phone is turned off.

  • Enjoy the company as well as the game

Remember that it is rude to criticise your partner or opponents in public, to be less than polite at the table, to gloat over good results or object to a call for the tournament director or to dispute or argue about a director’s ruling.

Please inform the Director if you think you may have been affected by bad behaviour, you will be helping others as well as yourselves.

As in all games that are governed by rules and regulations, bad behaviour will be penalised.

If a player at the table behaves in an unacceptable manner, the director should be called immediately.  Annoying behaviour, embarrassing remarks, or any other conduct which might interfere with the enjoyment of the game is specifically prohibited by Law 74A.  Law 91A gives the director the authority to assess disciplinary penalties.  This can include immediate disciplinary board penalties, and if a future violation is incurred at the same event, disqualification from future competition in that event.  Any further violations may result in a disciplinary hearing where a player's future participation in tournaments will be considered
