In this short video we take a glimpse into the world of bridge.

May will see the celebration of one of the members at Wearside Bridge Club in Sunderland. Eleanor Gertrude Foley (nee Hastwell) (pictured above) will be celebrating her 100th birthday!

On the 25th March 2026, Kenilworth Bridge Club, celebrated the 103rd birthday, of club member, Harry Collings, with wine and birthday cake. Harry is the oldest player at Kenilworth and regularly plays on a Wednesday afternoon.

Burghill Bridge Club, in Herefordshire were delighted to host a 100th Birthday Celebration evening of Bridge with long standing member Dorothy Johnson (pictured above). 

Kegham Bedrossian (pictured), one of Richmond Bridge Club's life members, turned 100 on valentine's day this year.

He was interviewed by Richmond BC about his life so far:

I’ve spent a lot of time at the bridge table over the years, and one thing has become crystal clear to me: the game isn't just played with cards. It’s played in the mind. You can study all the bidding systems, memorise every convention, and practise your card play until your fingers ache, but if your mental game isn't sharp, you're leaving a significant edge on the table.

After a leisurely breakfast and a relaxing morning in the Madeiran sunshine, play in the Multiple Teams began at 12:30. Funchal is a perfect location for a Congress – lots of places to walk to or within a short (and cheap) bus ride; the historic centre itself, Monte, the botanical gardens or simply the harbour front and local market, with lots of venues for food and drink.
