The objectives are to introduce and teach duplicate contract bridge to people who have never played before or for those who are returning to the game who would like to brush up on their technique. 

ASSISTED BIDDING AND PLAY is on Monday mornings 10 - 12, Monday evening 7-9pm and Wednesday afternoons 1:30 - 3:30pm. £5.00 per session All standards; no need to book.   

BEGINNERS LESSONS (Monday evening, 7 -9 and Tuesday morning 10:00-12:00) are for those of you who have never played before. They enable you to quickly understand the principles of the game and start playing immediately.

Both the beginners and improvers lessons are structured and cover all aspects of the game in a phased and logical manner at a pace to suit all abilities.

They are held in a friendly and social atmosphere, enabling all to have fun as well as making new friends and being stimulated and challenged. All sessions include playing pre-set hands. The lessons are supported by excellent EBU work books. 

All the lessons are held in either the main room or the events room at Stratford-upon-Avon Bridge Club.

On completion of the lessons, all participants can play in the main club room at a 'hosted' special beginners on Wednesday morning.  This enables new members to integrate smoothly into the club scene.

Assisted Bidding & Play every Wednesday 1:30pm - 3:30pm

Play at your own speed with help on bidding and play

These will cater for anyone who has not ventured into bridge club duplicate sessions.

For those wishing to eventually play at a bridge club it will be a good stepping stone, but for those who wish to play socially you can happily stay in this environment.

We will "encourage" you to play as a pair (but we can pair you up if you are on your own) and then you can play against others as it's a nice way to meet other bridge players. 

£6 per session includes tea/coffee and biscuits
