WELCOME TO THE YORK BRIDGE CLUB
We welcome existing players, learners of all standards
and all those looking to develop a new skill
We warmly welcome players with disabilities. Our club is a single storey, flat-floored building which is able to fully accommodate wheelchairs (in toilets, our café rest area as well as all the playing areas). We also have a hearing loop, large-index playing cards, disabled parking spaces and two electric car charging points.
We are pleased to be able to offer
a really wide range of ways to engage with bridge:
from Assisted Play (non-competitive) to the more usual Duplicate sessions
(at various levels: First Step, Gentle, Improvers, Competitive)
