| LEARNING BRIDGE |
 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.
