| Assisted Bridge Sessions Tuesday and Friday Nights |
Assisted Play sessions are being run every Tuesday and Friday evening. Session start time is 7.00pm
These sessions are open to all and are a great opportunity to meet and integrate with our new members.
Once a month on each evening there will be a short lesson starting at 6.45pm before the start of play. The lessons delivered at the Friday session will be aimed at the beginner level with the Tuesday input aimed at the next level. Many of our existing memebers may find these sessions useful as a refresher to previously learned subjects.
All members are welcome and may attend the lesson only if they wish.
