INTRODUCTION TO DUPLICATE PLAY
Glenda and Gill are running a six-week course starting on 17 April at 10.00am. It will finish at 12.30 and include a relaxed tea break. It is suitable for everyone learning bridge from beginners to those attending supervised play. It will cost one pink voucher per session and you can buy vouchers when you arrive. Topics will include scoring, use of travellers, Bridge etiquette, use of Bridgemates, understanding the results and confident card play. After six weeks you will be ready for club play. We aim to show you how playing in a club can be really enjoyable.
There is no need to sign up - just come by 9.45 for a 10.00am start on 17 April.
SUPERVISED BRIDGE SESSIONS
Wednesday Supervised Play is designed for Improvers and Intermediates who want to build confidence by playing alongside more experienced club players in a relaxed, supportive setting. It’s ideal for those who have attended the club’s classes and are ready to move beyond structured lessons into real gameplay, without focusing on any single aspect of technique.
During each session, participants play a series of hands in a friendly, low-pressure environment. Afterwards, they can compare their results with the contracts achieved by more experienced players, helping them understand different approaches and outcomes. Guidance is available throughout on both bidding and play, and players receive follow-up emails with links to replay the hands at home, along with any briefing materials used during the session, click here to see an example.
While not a formal lesson, Wednesday Supervised Play offers valuable learning through practical experience and discussion.
One pink voucher per session. Pink vouchers cost £6 and are sold in books of five for £30. These books can be bought at supervised play sessions.
WORKSHOPS
The next series of workshops will start after Easter.
