We offer bridge lessons for both Scarborough Bridge Club Members and non-members living within the Scarborough Area.
Lessons at all levels are approximately two hours in length and include a mix of classroom work and game play to re-enforce the learnings of the day. Lessons cost £4.00 per session to include lesson notes, hand records and refreshments.
Beginners and Key Skills Lessons
We are currently offering a course of Beginners and Key Skills Lessons which started on the 23rd of January and will last for approximately 30 weeks. We regret that we no longer have availability for non-members on this course.
Members wishing to refresh their skills can attend individual lessons as required and a schedule of lessons is available below to assist with this. The schedule will be updated to include specific lesson dates nearer to the time.
We would be grateful if members could advise us of their intention to attend specific lessons in order to assist us with the lesson planning and preparation.
