Welcome to The Bridge Centre
Bridge Refresher

BACK to BASICS

A class will be held every Wednesday in July, starting July 3 from 10am to noon at Conservatory Pond.

This is designed for people who have not played for a while, maybe due to Covid, and feel they need a refresher course.
Also, for the people who have taken some of the lessons at the senior centre, but missed  a few for various reasons.
Open to all who wish to attend.

So come join us, and  improve your game.
