Ledgemoor Bridge Is Fun

We called it Bridge Is Fun in 1993 when we began, and we still do, because it still is.   Every Thursday we gather at the Clubroom in Ledgemoor, where we play for about three hours.   Some of us have the distraction of coffee, but for most the game is drug enough.   It is the variety of Bridge called Duplicate Pairs - a posh name for what actually happens, which is that the same hand is played several times by different sets of opponents.   Sounds confusing, until you’ve played about five minutes, but it does reduce (but by no means eliminate) some of the element of chance.   Having said that, we have to admit that it doesn’t often happen that the same pair will come top two weeks running.   Check the Hereford Times to verify!  

Members come from near Hereford, Leominster, Presteigne, even Ludlow, and points in between, and we usually have about six tables in play.   If there are more than that the winners will have to wait till next day to be told how they’ve done.   Every time a month has a fifth Thursday we have a Prize Charity Evening for which we pay £2.50 instead of the usual £2, and the proceeds go to Charity.   At the moment we are supporting the British Heart Foundation, but we’ve also sent contributions in the past to the Hospice, Motor Neurone Charity, Hereford MS Society and Riding for the Disabled.   It comes to between £100 and £150 per year.
