The ICR/RMH Sutton Bridge
Club met regularly every Wednesday from around the start of the facilities in
1960’s to 2000. At around this time the bar was shut for a couple of
years and the club folded with players moving to other local clubs. The club
generally played either rubber or duplicate bridge on alternate weeks.
Therefore, due to the lack of a venue, the Bridge Club has temporarily suspended its
meetings.
Rubber evenings were very informal, and tables were started on a "first
come first served" basis - with players cutting for partners. Duplicate
bridge evenings were generally run as part of a tournament. The club held two
tournaments a year - the George Abel Individual Duplicate Tournament and The
Downs Club Individual Tournament. In both tournaments partnerships were
established by a draw. For the George Abel Trophy, partnerships were rotated
for every round. Scoring for both tournaments was calculated to establish the
best individual performances, and was designed to avoid the necessity of
forming regular partnerships. Players of all standards, and beginners were all
welcome to attend. The club adopted the Standard Acol bidding convention.
Please get in
touch with any Ups/Downs pH committee member if you
wish to start up the club again.
