Arklow Bridge Club

Arklow Bridge Club plays its weekly duplicate bridge session in the Presbyterian Church Hall in the town every Tuesday evening. The club runs a Joker System that pairs up any member who arrives without a partner, a feature it highlights specifically to make the club easier for newcomers to join without having to organise a partner in advance.

What to Expect

Play starts at 7:30pm and runs through the evening in standard duplicate bridge format, with a table fee charged on the night. The club is explicit that it is open to visitors during June, July and August, making the summer months the easiest time of year for anyone curious about the club to turn up and try a session without committing to membership. New members are welcomed year round, and the Joker System means a lack of a regular partner is not a barrier to playing on any given Tuesday. As with bridge clubs generally, players are expected to know the game already; it functions as a playing club rather than a teaching one, though members are generally happy to help newer players settle in.
