bridge players Tom and Celia Berry started
the HWA Bridge Club. This met initially every
second Friday and subsequently every
Friday since.
    Now known as the Friday Club it is
affiliated to the English Bridge Union, the
main organisation controlling the game in
the UK. With 75 members the club is run by
a committee headed by Chairman Roy
Taylor. Roy puts on a full programme of
events over the year with summer and winter
party evenings and special Christmas teams
playing for the Tom Berry Trophy. Other
events include the World Wide and Children
in Need Simultaneous pairs. The annual
spring weekend break is a popular and fun
weekend away, usually by the seaside.
    The sessions are run by the three qualified
EBU directors Robin Nunn, Mike Smith and
Trevor Hails. Being affiliated, all members are
automatically members of the EBU, they
receive the regular publication of English
Bridge, win master points for ranking and are
rated statistically every time they play. Cash
prizes are given to the winners each week so
if you win then you may get your table money
back! Table money is £3.00 per player.
    A session on a Friday starts promptly at
7.30pm and 24 Boards (hands) are played
finishing approximately at 10.30pm. The
bar is then opened for those players who
need some fortification and who consider
the coffee and biscuits supplied were
not enough! This is a friendly club and
visitors and new members are welcome.
