Links to Organisations
Oxford Bridge Club, at 147 Banbury Road, hosts duplicate events every Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. Standardly these are Pairs events, but the first Wednesday of every month, and the third Tuesday of every month is Teams of Four. OBC also hosts many other events at weekends. Balliol aficionados, especially those seeking to develop a regular partnership, should consider the benefits of the occasional sojourn up the Banbury Road. Rita Todd, who maintains the website, dances divinely and sings like an angel.
The Oxfordshire Bridge Association likewise offers much to those delighted by the only game in town. If nothing else, you can follow our progress in The Wessex League. We have won promotion every year since we entered, and are currently in Division Two.
