Café Bridge comes to Yorkshire

YCBA are running a pilot café bridge event in Wetherby town centre on Tuesday 26^th August (11am to 4pm). Although café bridge is quite common in London, the south of England, and Scotland, it has not taken off in Yorkshire. We think we might be missing something, hence running a pilot event with a view to rolling it out in other locations.

The cost of the event is £25, which including a good lunch and £5 to be donated to Martin House Children’s Hospice in Boston Spa.

What is Café Bridge?

It is duplicate pairs set up in multiple cafes, pubs or restaurants. Pairs move to a new venue after each round, guided by a map and movement card. Boards remain at their starting tables throughout. Scoring is with the BriAn Bridge app which is free to download on your smartphone (only 1 phone required per table).

Café Bridge has a social component and typically raises money for a good cause. It makes bridge visible to the wider public, and therefore promotes our wonderful game.

Timing of the Event

The café bridge pilot starts at 11am and should be completed by 4pm. We allow 1 hours for lunch, which is provided at a venue. Players are invited to Wetherby Bridge Club for tea/ coffee from 9.30am where you will receive your movement details. We can also provide coaching on how to use the BriAn Bridge App.
