 We are a friendly bridge club which plays duplicate bridge every Monday evening, using computer-dealt boards. Please note that from lst May 2008 membership has been 'capped' and visitors may only play three times in a year. If you would like to play as a visitor please contact our Secretary (details below) in the first instance. We are affiliated to the English Bridge Union (for classes see the OBA). Our venue is the Maison Francaise, North Oxford.
Please aim to arrive at 7.15 p.m. for a 7.30 p.m. start. Session fees: £2.50 for members (£3.50 non-members), including tea/coffee/biscuits. We have a host system so you can arrive without a pre-arranged partner. Play usually finishes around 10.30 -10.40 p.m. EBU master points are awarded to pairs finishing in the top third and are direct credited to the EBU.
** The results of the OBA Simultaneous Pairs have now been finalised. Many congratulations to Christopher and Erica Sheppard for coming first out of the 184 pairs who participated. Congratulations also to Irina Woods & Mark Hannon, and Sandra Nicholson & Krys Kazmierczak for finishing 9th and 10th respectively.**
**The Wessex League teams have all completed their matches. The "B" team won their Division and have been promoted from Division 4. However, unfortunately, our "A" team have been relegated from Division 2. For the first time Summertown fielded a "C" team that managed to finished a credible 6th in Division 5.

**At its AGM on 7th April 2008 the Club adopted a new Constitution. Many thanks to Jeremy Mitchell, who with the help of the rest of the Committee, used the Model Club Constitution provided by the EBU as the basis for a new updated Constitution. Please refer to the Constitution Document and the Note on the Constitution.**
Our boards are usually pre-dealt and should not be shuffled and dealt at the table. Hand records are available at the end of the session.
To ensure that there is a host each week, members are asked to act as host in rotation, about once every 18 months. Members should make a note of the day they are due to host - see Host List.
We have three teams in the Wessex League (in Divisions II, IV, and V), and we take part in various Simultaneous Pairs and other events.
Club results are usually uploaded late the same evening. Visit the Results page and click on the appropriate date.
We are very grateful to those members of the Club who freely give of their time to score and direct each week - Director's Roster.
We have an Internet mailing list for club members with email to receive news about results, forthcoming events, etc. Contact Sandra or Krys for details.
