A privately owned bridge club on the first floor at 273 Remuera Road, Remuera, with a membership of more than 350 and an affiliation to New Zealand Bridge. Because it takes part in the Master Points Scheme, members can enter tournaments, play in inter-club teams and build up points in the same system as other clubs around the country. The club is also the place to start for newcomers, who are offered mini lessons before some sessions.
The regular sessions are a Junior Day on Friday at 10am, which includes a mini lesson, a Junior Night on Wednesday at 7.15pm with an optional mini lesson at 7pm, and Day Players sessions on Tuesday and Thursday at 10am. Visitors from other Auckland clubs and from further afield are welcome, and players come from many suburbs, including the North Shore.
The club shares its premises with Auckland Bridge Club but runs as a separate club. Parking is available at the building and on the street, and there is a lift to the first floor. Café-style coffee, hot chocolate, teas and snacks are served during play.
Our pick in Remuera for a player who wants a friendly club with a set weekly routine and a path into tournaments.
