The Friday morning session is usually played in person at the golf club starting at 9:30am. Monday night sessions will be played online on BBO starting at 6pm. All players are requested to be seated or registered for online sessions at least 10 minutes before the scheduled start time.

Lusaka, the capital city of Zambia, is renowned for its friendly atmosphere. Lusaka Golf Club hosts the annual Zanaco Masters Open Golf Tournament in April and with its excellent facilities and fully licensed bar is an excellent venue for our bridge sessions. The club is situated on Los Angeles Boulevard between Longacres and Kabulonga and is a short distance by car from the Intercontinental, Pamodzi and Southern Sun hotels.

| Bridge Lessons |
Learn to Play Bridge
Bridge is a game that is enjoyed from the very outset it is hugely stimulating for the brain, highly addictive and a great social activity.
Like all Bridge Clubs we are pleased to welcome new members but you do need to learn the game before being able to play at a club. So if you are new to the game or don't feel quite ready to play at the club then ask the club secretary about lessons.
Whilst group lessons are the best way to learn, if you can't find the time to commit to regular lessons there are now plenty of online options such as:

DUPLICATE EVENTS
As a general rule please be seated at the venue 10 minutes before the stated time to give the committee time to set up the movement and the bridgemates. This means being at Golf Club by 6:20pm on Mondays. Some members are getting home at midnight and it is only fair to try to keep good time. Please get to the club as early as you can.
A point of etiquette. After the bidding of the contract is complete, please leave out your bidding cards until the person on lead has selected the lead card and placed it face down on the table. This allows his partner to ask any relevant questions about the bidding that has taken place. It is bad etiquette to put away your bidding cards as declarer (and dummy) before the defenders have had time to review and question your bids. Declarer and either defender are allowed a full recap of the bidding until they have played a card to the first trick, in declarer's case this card will be from dummy.
