The now high tech club, was started in 2008 by small group of enthusiastic players and has grown steadily attracting players from a wide area of Mid Wales and the Marches.

It is affiliated to the Welsh Bridge Union and is one of the few clubs that is growing in numbers of players.

The club has developed a reputation for a relaxed atmosphere with competitive play and the original eight the club has grown to around 50 members.

The club meets on a Friday night at 7pm in the Offa's Dyke Centre in Knighton and is always keen to welcome new members.
