KENYA BRIDGE ASSOCIATION - HISTORY

The Kenya Bridge association was tormed in 1963 with an initial membership of just under one hundred and fifty members. While membership has never risen above 200 in the forty two year period since its inception, the standard of bridge in this country has been surprisingly high in relation to the size of the association’s membership.

During the entire history of the organization from 1963 to today, the Kenya Bridge association has been fielding the teams in the East, Central and Southern African Region.

Kenya Bridge Association being an affiliate of the Kenya National Sports Council is recognized by the ministry of sports as the only body entrusted with running bridge activities in Kenya and mandated to select teams to international participation.
Kenya’s first overseas bridge competition involved sending a touring team to Britain in 1967.

Kenya entered a national team in the 1968 world bridge Federation team Olympiad at Deauville in France.
Unfortunately due to South African participation in World Bridge Federation events, the Kenya Bridge Association was unable to enter another world championship until the 1978 world Pairs championships in New Orleans.  

Kenya entered three pairs and one team in the 1982 World Pairs Championship in Biarritz, France which now includes a knockout team event.

The Kenya Bridge Association holds regular weekly duplicate bridge sessions at the Aga Khan Sports center, 5th Parklands every Monday evening at 7.15 p.m and every Wednesday morning at 9.45 a.m standard of bridge is very good and numbers range from about 10 tables on Monday night to 22 tables on a Wednesday morning. New members are welcome at a minimal charge and new comers and beginners are encouraged to participate.

The association organizes about a dozen other sponsored tournaments during the course of the year. Attendance in the last two years has escalated to record levels both in terms of the number of participants.

Kenya Bridge Association lessons for beginners twice a year.
