Fight Dementia — Play Bridge!

 Welcome to Great Bay bridge!  Games start at 10:30 am (please be seated at your table by 10:20 am).  We end by 2:30 pm with a :20 lunch break at noon. We charge players $7 to play. Our Great Bay SCHEDULE has regular special games (~ extra masterpoints) and games with lots of fun. The schedule of all NH bridge events for 2026 displays on the NHBA web site www.nhbridge.com.

Come visit and play with us!

NOTE: we cancel games via EMAIL from the Club Manager when weather is too inclement for play.  Make sure you are on our Club mailing list (if you receive our Weekly results mails, you are!)

FRIDAY GAMES are added when the Senior Center closes on Mondays for Federal and State holidays or election setup days.

  Please come and enjoy a break from "Monday" bridge!

Need a partner for the next game?

We occasionally have to send someone home because they arrive with no partner--- and all other singles are paired up. The Club does not offer a standby player.  Furthermore, the ACBL recommends against having a playing director in games with more than 16  tables. 

Partnership Desk

On Tuesday, September 23, 2025 we lost one of the founders of our club, Betty Brewster, to cancer. She was a wonderful lady. Happy and generous until the end. We miss her dearly.  Betty was the most recent winner of the Leroy Lake Award for "...involvement with the distribution of funds from online games to the NH clubs ... during the pandemic" and "...superior behavior and gracious presence at the bridge table in the performance of the many tasks at the Great Bay Bridge Club.""We ask that donations be sent to the American Cancer Society in her memory.
