Fancy learning to play bridge? Bridge is a great social game. You'll make new friends, improve your memory, and have fun.

Perhaps you already know how to play, but want to improve, or to get back into it? Click HERE to find out how.

OUR NEW SEASON OF COURSES (BEGINNERS, IMPROVERS, AND INTERMEDIATES) STARTED ON 12 SEPTEMBER 2024, but you can join any time.  

....and if learning face-to face doesn't work for you, here's a great resource, totally free, for learning bridge on line, designed for people new to the game: 

It’s a series of You Tube videos created by expert bridge player and teacher John Stell. Start off by clicking  HERE , which will explain how to access the 52 videos.

John has now also added a short course on how to play two over one: HERE
Many people play online, and this system is very popular on sites such as BBO, INTO Bridge and RealBridge.
This is a useful resource for club members to brush up on various topics that maybe they don't have a full grasp of. The course would normally cost over £260 - but here it’s free, with no strings attached. The only thing John asks is if you like it, you spread the word, and subscribe to his YouTube channel.  

We are now offering, in addition to our regular Friday evening on-line bridge, a weekly online session on Tuesday evenings on RealBridge, play starting at 7pm. Please log in at least 10 minutes beforehand. 

It is run in conjunction with Antrobus Bridge Club. For more details, click HERE

Members who want to play, just log in on the day by clicking on the link for the relevant session, on the panel at the top right of  the Homepage. Please do this at least 10 minutes before the session start time of 7pm. 

If you don't have a partner, log in anyway, sit at a table, and we'll do our best to fix you up.
