Introducing Your 2025 Committee
The following members were elected at the AGM
Welcome!
Welcome to the New Plymouth Contract Bridge Club.
Our mission is to provide an enjoyable bridge playing experience for all levels of players and to encourage all players to further develop their skills in a friendly, competitive and challenging social atmosphere.
Whether you are new to the game of bridge or have been playing for many years, our club has something that will suit you.
If you can't find what you need on our site, please do get in touch.
We hope to see you at the table soon!
Bidding Etiquette
Stop Cards
Whilst stop cards themselves are gone the non use of stop cards does not remove the
requirement for a Player to wait 8 to 10 seconds before bidding if there has been a jump by
his/her Right Hand opponent. The Bidder should use the 8 to 10 seconds to inquire about the bid
..(if they need to know) or just to consider their hand.
This prevents any inference from whether there is a pause or not - because there should always
be a pause
