Bridge is fun! |

The new venue for February 2026 at the Weston Hotel in Scarborough from the 9th to 12th February is already half full. Booking early pays off as there is a flat rate for everyone with the best rooms going to the first people to book. Below, you will a list of holidays in the next six months which are not fully booked. My first holiday in May is another trip to the ever popular Bedford Hotel, Lytham St Annes, for a 3 night holiday from the 9th to 12th May. Sorry, no single occupancy rooms left, just a few rooms for double occupancy only. Then, from the 16th to 19th May, I shall be at the Shap Wells Hotel, famous for its red squirrel population. This is another hotel where you really need a car as it is literally in the middle of nowhere, just outside the village of Shap though only minutes from the M6 on the way to Penrith and lunch may not be available in the hotel. It has greatly improved over recent years and is one of Patrick’s favourites. You do need to let me know if you struggle with stairs as some of the rooms can only be accessed via the odd short flight. Strangely enough, it’s the 2nd floor which is the most level and fully accessible by the lift. There are more places available at the North Euston Hotel in Fleetwood from the 23rd to 26th June. While Fleetwood might not be everybody’s idea of a holiday destination, the North Euston is very popular with my guests. It offers pub-type meals typical of the 1970’s, so expect prawn cocktail, chicken a la king and black forest gateau. Being such a large hotel, the rolling program of updating takes a while to reach all the rooms. I’m always fascinated by the ever-changing views of the sea and the friendliness of the staff. This hotel does not restrict the number of rooms I’m allowed for single occupancy. I’m also going there for a Twimas break for that very reason. There’s just one holiday in July. It’s at the Skipton Hotel (formerly the Rendezvous) from the 21st to 24th July. March sold out, so if you fancy a trip to Skipton, you need to book early. The hotel calculates prices by room rates, so a double occupancy room costs £570 plus bridge and there is a £135 discount for single occupancy. Prices on my website are quoted per person. DEADLINE FOR BOOKING 20TH MAY 2025. In August, I’m back at Ednam House, Kelso, from the 11th to 15th immediately followed by Shap Wells from the 15th to 18th. In September, I’m returning to the ever popular Cave Castle at South Cave in East Yorkshire from the 1st to 5th. This is another hotel where a car is advisable unless you want to spend your afternoons playing golf on the hotel’s course (pre-booking required) or in the swimming pool or gym. I then have two back-to-back holidays on the Fylde coast. The first is at the Bedford Hotel, Lytham St Annes, from the 12th to 15th and the second at the North Euston Hotel, Fleetwood, from the 15th to the 18th. At the Bedford the only rooms left are exclusively for sharing, whereas there are no restrictions on single occupancy at the North Euston. The last holiday in September is a weekend holiday at the Skipton Hotel from the 26th to 29th. If this proves as popular as the March holiday, you would be well advised to book soon! There are 3 holidays in October and two of them still have some availability: A weekend break at the Auckland Hotel, Morecambe, from the 10th to the 13th. This is a family run hotel on the promenade, so you can expect a sunset break, when the weather is suitable, to watch the sun setting into the sea. A weekday break to the Skipton Hotel from the 20th to 23rd. For details of all these holidays, click on the dates above. If you wish to be added to the waiting list for holidays on the website (www.helensbridgeholidays.co.uk) which are currently fully booked, just send me an email. There is no obligation. If I have a cancellation, I contact you to see if you’re still interested and available. And finally…..congratulations if you have made it this far. I’m looking forward to seeing over 500 of you this year for bridge and maybe for a late session of Mexican Train Dominoes or Rummikub after bridge in the evenings. We might even invite you to join us for one of Treasure Trails’ treasure hunts. Take care and keep smiling
