Play
& Learn By far the best way to improve at bridge is
to play. If you know the basics of bridge, why not come and join one of our weekly
improver games. Not only do you get the enjoyment and benefit of playing, you
will have access to expert tuition as well. Please do not be shy about
coming - even if you have only played a little with family or friends or done
a few lessons; even if it was a long time ago, and you feel you have forgotten
everything. However much or little you know, we will welcome you and get you back
into the swing. All the games are hosted by experienced bridge teachers who will
offer advice and support as needed. These games are very informal. Just
turn up and join an available table. There is no need to book and you pay only
for the sessions you attend. As far as possible you will be allocated to
a table with players of a similar standard. Come with a bridge partner if you
have one, but single players are welcome and everyone is guaranteed a game at
all sessions. Many of our players go on to play in regular club games.

NOVICE

duplicate bridge tournaments that is highly recommended for developing players.
You play with the same partner throughout but single players are welcome and will
be paired up on the day.
