F2F & Online Sessions for Young People at Cheltenham Bridge Club

Bridge and MiniBridge, are both fantastic games and great fun for all ages!

New players will be taught MiniBridge which is a simplified version of Bridge and suitable for young people who will quickly aspire to play the full game. At whatever level they play, young players will make friends and enjoy the challenge. It also helps develop skills in maths, non-verbal reasoning, problem solving and the ability to focus and concentrate, as well as a range of social and behavioural skills.

Junior Bridge Club Online - Thursday After School

This is a children only session run on RealBridge. It is a great opportunity to practice the skills learned in your face to face sessions. 

As it is a children only (plus EBED staff who are all DBS checked) session, we are asking for parental permission for you to join in, and hence for your responsible adult to complete the form accessible via this link Parental Permission Form.

The RealBridge club will meet every Thursday 4:15 to 6:15pm and a link to the game will be emailed to you on the Tuesday before the event starts. You don't have to attend for the whole of the session but would ask that you turn up before 5:30pm.

Why Do We Play Bridge?
Bridge is a Card Game that is Fun & Makes you Think

All you need is 4 people and a pack of cards to play anywhere in the world

• It makes your brain work and every few minutes you have a new challenge
• You can play for 5 minutes or 5 hours.  Every hand is an adventure.
• You can sit around any table – on a train – on the floor – in the playground – at home. 
• Or you can get really good and enter competitions all over the UK and the world!
• You can play on the internet – maybe with someone in Brazil or Australia?
• It is as fun and as fascinating as any computer game (and we still beat the computers)
• Bridge is sociable - it is an easy way to meet people wherever you go.
• It does not cost much – very important if you are at school or university
• There is always someone to help you get started or to get better  - just ask us!
