Club Directory with Maps

|
This lists the latest information given to the LCBA, and includes a contact (usually the club secretary), details of league participation and club duplicate evenings. The times shown for duplicate sessions are the latest time of arrival for visitors. Play will usually start just a few minutes later. There may be variations to the arrangements for visitors during the season, in particular close to bank holidays and especially around Christmas. In cases of doubt, please check in advance. In addition this web version gives details of club e-mail addresses and websites, including maps showing the location of clubs and will be periodically updated. |
Whilst every effort is made to ensure the data are correct, you are strongly advised to verify the information supplied.  |
| Clubs affiliated to the EBU |
| The 18 LCBA EBU affiliated clubs all run regular duplicate pairs. Local Master Points are issued at all duplicate sessions listed except as indicated. |
