Kia Ora and Haere Mai!

Welcome to the Rotorua Bridge Club’s website. Formed in 1955, Rotorua Bridge Club is one of the strongest bridge clubs in the region, with about 150 members ranging from novices to grandmasters.
The club is situated not far from town, in Neil Hunt Park, on Tarawera Rd, just near the Te Ngae roundabout. (See map)

Learn Bridge
If you've never played bridge and are interested in learning, Rotorua Bridge Club runs a series of lessons each year. See the beginners’ page for more information about learning bridge. Click here to find out what players enjoy most about bridge.

Playing Sessions
There are four playing sessions each week – on Monday afternoons, Wednesday and Thursday evenings and Friday afternoons. Visitors are always very welcome to all sessions, with the  exception of team competitions, where it is often not possible to fit in an extra pair. If you’re in Rotorua alone and would like a partner, please contact a partnership steward – we can nearly always find you someone to play with. Most members use the Acol system, but Standard American is also played by some.

 

Christmas and Summer Events

The Christmas Tournament is on Saturday 6 December, and the Christmas party on Wednesday 10 December, at 6pm, a chance to catch up with people before the holidays, enjoy some fun bridge, and pick up your programme for next year. Please bring a small plate of finger food. And summer bridge is now underway, on Monday afternoons and Wednesday evenings - there will be a float for each session, so come along even if you don't have a partner.

Raise the Roof Tournament

This fundraising tournament on 3 November went really well, with Rotorua players of all levels competing, and some challenging hands to contend with. Congratulations to the winners, both on handicap and off-the-stick, Leonie Pritchard and Mark Bendall. Also to runners-up Barbara Richardson and Jenny Forbes, and third place-getters Grace Wang and Heini Lux. It's great to see newer players among the prizewinners. Thank you too to Heini for directing while also playing, which can be quite a challenge, and to all the other helpers.
