WELCOME TO NEW MEMBERS
We have recently welcomed several new members to Corsham Bridge Club.
If you are one of them – we wish you a very warm welcome.
We have recently welcomed several new members to Corsham Bridge Club.
If you are one of them – we wish you a very warm welcome.
If this is your first club membership, then you will automatically have become a member of the English Bridge Union (EBU) and also will be affiliated to Wiltshire Contract Bridge Association (WCBA). If you have not already been sent, or handed, a Welcome Letter from the WCBA, please see the copy attached below.
If you were already a member of the EBU but currently have your primary club membership outside Wiltshire, then you should consider making Corsham your primary club – this will automatically affiliate you to the WCBA.
We are privileged to count Richard Gwyer, the current, recently elected, Chairman of the WCBA amongst our members at Corsham Bridge Club. As Richard says in his attached letter, the WCBA website is the place to look for information on all WCBA events and for links to other Wiltshire clubs.
Those of you who were already members of another EBU-affiliated club in Wiltshire, and who have now joined Corsham Bridge Club are equally welcome. You will already be part of the WCBA and hopefully are well versed in the activities of the WCBA.

Beginners Lessons 2018-19
A new course of lessons for absolute beginners began on 9 October 2018 and ended on 30 April 2019.
Several students began playing at the club on 1st May.
Lessons were held on Tuesday evenings 7.30 to 10.00
Venue – Church House, 3 Church Street, Corsham, SN13 0BY
For more details, click here.
The course was initially fully subscribed but we were able to accommodate more students due to a larger room in Church House becoming available.
Unfortunately, some initial students had to give up due to other commitments, or poor health.
Corsham Bridge Club is unlikely to run a course in 2019/20.
But Sue Phillips will be running a Beginners Course at Malmesbury, commencing early October 2019
Please register your interest for any future courses by email to corshambridgeclub@gmail.com and we will get back to you.
