Welcome to Kendal Bridge Club
 
 
  New Thursday morning sessions

Following the disclosure that David will be using Tuesday evenings rather than Thursday mornings for his teaching, Sue Van Eijkern has kindly agreed to lead a group of people who, initially supported by the 'tutors', will organise Thursday morning bridge. The session will run from 10am until approximately 12.30, though those intending to play will need to be present by 9.50.

This is not intended as an extension of the supervised play - there will be no pre-play talk, no commentary to take away, and no asking tutors for help. Instead it will be a new daytime session which we intend in due course will be open to the whole club, and that hopefully will be played with the same friendly atmosphere that has been a feature of the supervised sessions.Please note we do not intend this to be an alternative to going along on a Tuesday evening.

The Betty Limb Cup for the club Individual Champion will take place on Sunday 6th October. Everyone will play the same Simple Sytem.

Want to Learn or Improve?

Kendal BC holds a regular coaching and training session on Thursday morning starting at 9:30 at the Bridge Club (Abbot Hall Social Crentre). These are currently focussed on improvers - ie people who have a basic knowledge but want to improve both bidding and play.

They take the form of a short lesson followed by playing 12 boards where players can call on a tutor at any time foir help with a bid, a lead or declarer play. Non members are welcome. For further details, please click the link below.

We are currently building up a list to start a new Beginners course. When we have sufficient numbers we will set a course date. To register your interest, please click the link below.
