Richard,
Click on the Schedules button above and then click on Whist. It should default to the 8 person tournament that you need where all pairs of players partner each other exactly once, and play in opposition exactly twice.

Perhaps it's time to start hiring, as 7 players is a difficult number to work with! Of course you must have 3 players who sit out each round, and so to give everyone the same number of games you need a multiple of 7 rounds. Below all the partnerships are different and pairs of players oppose each other either once or twice.
(5 2 v 1 3) (6 4 7)
(6 3 v 2 4) (7 5 1)
(7 4 v 3 5) (1 6 2)
(1 5 v 4 6) (2 7 3)
(2 6 v 5 7) (3 1 4)
(3 7 v 6 1) (4 2 5)
(4 1 v 7 2) (5 3 6)
It's interesting that the schedule is more balanced in the byes, since all pairs of players have a bye together exactly once. The byes are therefore equivalent to The Fano Plane (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fano_plane).
