All the clubs below play duplicate bridge and where other forms of the game are available, Chicago, rubber social etc., these are indicated in the expanded text. Where a lower-case day of week is next to the club name there is an afternoon session, upper-case implies an evening game.

Bridge is organised in England by the English Bridge Union.
Affiliated clubs guarantee uniformity of Laws and playing conditions (direction, alerting, explanations, announcing etc.) so you can be sure of similar experience at the table. Playing at and being a member of an affiliated club will make you a member of the EBU.
Not all clubs are affiliated; some are small and find the administration unwieldy, some are politically opposed, others are part of bridge schools. These are listed under 'Other Clubs' below.
The formation in 1980 of the Suffolk association filled in a blank on the map.
However, it not only included geographic Suffolk but portions of North Essex which are better connected to Suffolk (via the A12) than to the Essex heartlands. As specific consequence of that you will find Colchester clubs listed here. On the northern borders some clubs remained part of Norfolk, for example Bungay.
