We are now able to offer two opportunities for u3a Bridge Returners

1. Players who are familiar with online Bridge Playing Platforms and wish to play competitive Bridge

The u3a Online Duplicate Bridge Group holds weekly RealBridge Sessions on Tuesday mornings at 10 o/c - further details here

It is recommended that you either read the RealBridge Player Quick Guide Guide or take an 8-hand Taster Session (or both) before joining the Group.

2. Players who have never played online before, need 'hand-holding' in the short term or 'sign-posting' to a (self-guided) Improvers course.

We offer a three month free 'package' of 24/7 online playing sessions on BridgeClubLive (BCL) as well as a self-learning course on Nofearbridge (NFB).

The playing sessions on BCL can be a choice of Social Bridge or Club Duplicate Bridge (or both) depending upon the member's preference. In either case we 'hand-hold' the member at the table until they are sufficiently comfortable to join a regular weekly Social Bridge Group on Thursday evenings and/or a Friendly Duplicate session on Friday afternoons.

We do not offer any direct teaching on the Nofearbridge platform but we do offer advice and 'hand-holding' as to how to get the best out of your Nofearbridge membership.

If you are interested in joining us and are able to play regularly, please fill-in the application form.

You can pursue either or both opportunities, but whichever one you take, we have a regular informal 'drop-in' session every Wednesday when we will answer any questions you may have - see

on the Calendar Month for details.
