I am an EBU qualified Club Director and run EBU licensed holidays in the UK. I have had to give up foreign ones for now as they were taking over my time, and in fact have now almost stopped altogether.

Twice a year we go to the St Ives Hotel in St Anne's on Sea (5 miles from the Blackpool tower). I usually do one at the end of February and one the third week of November. The price is about £162 to £175 which is less than many bridge weekends, so is the best value for money I know of. Excellent food, indoor pool, friendly staff, good car park. £10 a week single supplement. Please check out www.st-ives-hotel.co.uk (look under Tariff & Offers) for up-to-date information on prices or ring the hotel to book on 01253 720011. Mention my name as other dates are done by other directors.

Some of the more serious players at the St Ives Hotel discuss the way I played a hand (I am top right; my partner, Glenys, is front middle).

When I started going to St Anne's, there was just the St Ives Hotel running bridge holidays as far as I was aware. There are now at least five, which must make it the bridge holiday capital of the north-west for such a small town.
