Gentle Bridge Tuesday
Gentle Bridge Tuesday

Our Gentle Bridge Tuesday afternoon sessions are played in a friendly and informal environment.

A typical session is about 7 tables of EBU accredited Bridge, with Master Points awarded.

Each first Tuesday of the month we are focusing on a particular topic.  After a quick introduction we will play and score 16 pre-dealt hands on the topic, with time to review/discuss the bidding/play as part of the improvement process.

We will ensure everyone has a partner, so all are welcome.

Charity Simultaneous Pairs

On Tuesday 3rd and Thursday 5th September, we played in the EBU Simultaneous Pairs.  The table money will have raised nearly £200 for Cancer Research UK.
