Terms and Conditions

1.              Your contract for all aspects of the holiday is with Bridge4uS.  Hotels will not attempt to answer any questions in relation to your booking.  Any special requests regarding rooms, dietary requirements, disability facilities etc should be directed to us.

2.                 Bridge4uS reserve the right to cancel holidays should numbers be insufficient.  In this case all monies paid will be refunded in full.  Where possible at least 1 months notice will be given.

3.                Extra nights can be requested – we will quote you the additional cost before confirming your booking.  Depending on the numbers requesting it bridge sometimes can be offered with the extra nights - you will be advised prior to arrival if this is the case.

4.                All monies we receive are paid in to a Trust account and none of it is paid out until the holiday has finished.  Any disputes or dissatisfaction regarding the hotel or any other aspect of the holiday should be resolved by then.  Your money is therefore guaranteed and perfectly secure.  We do have a contract with our hotels whereby we commit to buying rooms for the holiday one month in advance but should we, or the hotel, cancel the holiday for any reason (at any time) all monies will be refunded. 

5.            Deposits are normally required at least 6 months prior to the start of the holiday - the exact date it is required is determined in the confirmation letter we will send you to confirm your booking.  It is very important that this is complied with particularly if you are claiming a discount or responding to a Special Offer.  We regret that Deposits cannot be refunded.  The balance is normally due 1 month before the start of the holiday (the due date as stated on the confirmation letter).  Please make cheques payable to: Bridge4us Trust Account.  We regret that, under no circumstances, can we offer refunds for any cancellations received after the due date specified.

6.                  Transfer to another person can be accommodated but may incur a small administration fee.

7.                If you are coming on your own we will guarantee you a partner.  Play will be duplicate and a basic knowledge of ACOL will be assumed.  We try to accommodate all standards.

8.              Bridge4uS are keen to promote the full enjoyment of bridge.  All sessions will be played in accordance with the rules and ethics of the EBU.  We encourage a friendly and relaxed atmosphere in which to play.

9.              Our policy regarding Single Supplements is primarily to ensure fairness, spread the costs and encourage as many of our clients as we can to share a twin room.  In the long run, we feel this will provide for a more enjoyable and cost-effective holiday for all our guests. This policy is independent of the charges that hotels impose for single room bookings - it is not our intention to profit from single supplements.

10.        We cannot guarantee how many tables we will be playing but guidelines issued by the EBU advise that there should be a minimum of 5.  We would normally expect between 7 and 10 tables.  With this in mind we will not go ahead with any holiday unless we have received at least 20 bookings one month in advance of the start date of the holiday.

11.             Master Points and generous Prizes are a feature of all our holidays.

12.     Your two directors, John Taylor and Roger Chappel are both fully qualified EBU Directors of considerable experience.  In addition both John and Roger are EBUTA qualified.  John has been involved in the running of a bridge club for improvers in Bolton for many years.  Roger is a director and secretary of the St. Georges Bridge Club in Darlington.
