Are you the owner of Louth Duplicate Bridge Club?
Tony wishes to extend a warm invitation to the sports community to join the Louth Duplicate Bridge Club. Located in Louth, United Kingdom, the club is affiliated with the English Bridge Union (EBU) and caters to bridge enthusiasts of all levels.
Regular face-to-face sessions are held at the Louth Indoor Bowls Club on Birch Road. These take place on Fridays from 13:30 to 17:00, featuring duplicate pairs games. Table fees are £2.00 for members and £3.00 for visitors. Players are encouraged to be seated 15 minutes before the session starts. School children under the age of 18 can join for free.
In addition to face-to-face sessions, the club also runs real-time online sessions using the RealBridge platform on Wednesdays and Mondays at 19:00, also focusing on duplicate pairs games. Each online session costs £2.00, with an annual membership of £7.00 required if participating in three or more sessions.
The club uses computer-dealt boards (Duplimate) and online scoring systems (Bridgemates and Scorebridge) to ensure accurate results. Results, hands, and traveller information are posted on the club's website after each session for players to review.
Louth Duplicate Bridge Club offers bridge lessons for those keen to improve their skills. Players can track their progress through the National Grading System and compete with others at their skill level. The club holds various competitions and events, including county events with the Lincolnshire Contract Bridge Association.
An active committee, meeting regularly, ensures the smooth running of the club. Minutes from committee meetings are available for members, and an Annual General Meeting (AGM) is held to allow members to voice their opinions.
Tony and the club pride themselves on promoting good etiquette and respectful behaviour during games, as outlined in Law 74 of the 'Laws of Duplicate Bridge'. This includes engaging positively with opponents and avoiding criticism of others' bidding or play.
