Table Money
As from Monday 7th March, table money will be increased to £4 for all Bridge Room duplicates. This increase was due to take place last year but was postponed due to the changing Covid-19 situation. Unfortunately, our current table money charge means we are running at a loss and is not sustainable.
June Cowling
It with sadness I announce the death of a long-standing bridge Member, June Cowling, who passed away on 14th February at the age of 91.
A funeral service will be held at Mortlake Crematorium on Thursday 3rd March at 4pm. The service will be followed by a reception at Roehampton Club to which all are welcome. June will be greatly missed by her many friends at the Club.

No need to pre-book, just arrive from 9.45am on the day.
This session offers almost 3 hours of supervised play, set hands and the (in)famous bidding quiz, all in the friendliest atmosphere. Open to bridge players of all levels, there is always something new to be learnt, a play to be understood, and revelation to be had.
