WELCOME TO THE YORK BRIDGE CLUB
We welcome existing players, learners of all standards
and all those looking to develop a new skill

We warmly welcome players with disabilities. Our club is a single storey, flat-floored building which is able to fully accommodate wheelchairs (in toilets, our café rest area as well as all the playing areas). We also have a hearing loop, large-index playing cards, disabled parking spaces and two electric car charging points.

We are pleased to be able to offer
a really wide range of ways to engage with bridge:

from Assisted Play (non-competitive) to the more usual Duplicate sessions
(at various levels: First Step, Gentle, Improvers, Competitive)

Other formats include Swiss Pairs, Teams-of-4, Teams-of-8 (5 Yorkshire League Teams)

We also provide excellent teaching
from Beginners lessons through Intermediate levels up to our Advanced Seminar series
