Welcome to the Tamar Bridge Club Inc. web site. Tamar Bridge Club conducts regular Duplicate Bridge sessions at the club rooms in St. Leonards, Tasmania.
Visitors are welcome at most sessions. Some championship events are restricted to club members, and some multi-session events may require pre-entry and commitment to play in all sessions. Consult the Calendar on this site to identify these sessions.



The annual Christmas Dinner & presentation of trophies was held at Fitzpatrick's Inn at Westbury on 2nd Dec.

A good time was had by all. Some evidence of this can be viewed here.

Beginning on 1st Feb, and running for 8 consecutive Wednesdays, we will be conducting a Beginners course, for those who have never played Bridge.

Sessions will be from 2:00 PM until about 4:00 PM, but if there is a sufficient number of students who are unable to attend at this time of day, then we will consider conducting a second session of an evening. This would probably be on Wednesday evenings from 7:30 to 9:30 PM, on the same dates as the afternoon sessions.

The course will be conducted by Ian Callahan. Ian is an experienced Bridge player and Director, who has represented Tasmania in interstate competition. He can be contacted on 03 6331 1429 or at learnbridge©callahan.id.au

Cost will be $40 for the 8 lessons. This will include a copy of the set text ("Play Bridge: A Workbook for the Absolute Beginner" by Joan Butts) and access to "Play Bridge Online" area of Joan Butts web site. Joan Butts is the ABF National Teaching Coordinator.

Club members are asked to pass on this information to friends, family, or anyone else they know of who may have an interest in learning Bridge.

Here is a flyer and a registration form.

Some less experienced players may be playing Teams bridge for the first time in either the Daytime Teams on Mondays, or the Thursday Teams Nights. Teams scoring can be quite confusing to players used to match point pairs only. And an understanding of Teams scoring can be important to some of the decisions you have to make at the table.

Here is a quick guide to teams scoring for those who need help.

And here is a Teams Score Sheet (PDF) with one 6 board match filled in, which might help as an example.
