In 2024 Tudor Bridge Club, in Chipping Sodbury, is celebrating its 40th birthday. To mark this auspicious event the club hosted a celebratory weekend away for its members in March.
Just an hours drive away from their home venue they gathered at a fabulous hotel (Cricklade Spa), where everyone had their own rooms, use of the grounds and the spa facilities too.
Starting with a drinks reception on the Friday evening before the first friendly match, the weekend included a seminar given by their most decorated member, the birthday competition itself and a random teams Swiss event. All culminating in a birthday tea and cake celebration after play finished on the Sunday afternoon.
“I’ve done lots of these bridge weekends before”, said one member, “but it’s a totally different experience when you know all the players. It’s simply so much more fun.”
The weekend was considered such a great success by those who attended, the committee were asked during the weekend if it could be done again next year!
Tudor Bridge Club plays twice weekly both with a mixture of online and face to face games. Tudor is a vibrant, energetic, fun club with competitions and parties running throughout the year and a thriving teaching section too.
