OUR NEXT BEGINNERS BRIDGE COURSES WILL BEGIN ON TUESDAY 26th SEPTEMBER 2023 AT 7.15pm  and WEDNESDAY 27th SEPTEMBER 2023 AT 10.30am.

The course content is the same for each of the courses and both will last for 12 weeks and cover the basics of play  and bidding .  We teach the 5 card major, strong No Trump and short club system.  We also cover basic defensive tactics. We produce a power point presentation for each lesson and have plenty of hand outs, quizes and prepared hands to help you to learn.  We also run many supervised and supported sessions to help you continue to learn and improve once the course is over.

The most important thing though is that the classes will be friendly and sociable.  Bridge can be a complicated game and will stretch your mind, but we aim to make bridge fun to learn and hope you will quickly come to love the game as much as we do.

The course will cost £72 payable in advance 

TUTORS ARE: SUSAN TRIGGS & ANNE NAYLOR

About The Manchester Bridge Club

It’s contribution to bridge is not just limited to the top players. Over its entire existence The Manchester Bridge Club has concentrated on teaching the game to as wide an audience as possible. The club has taught thousands of players to learn to play including many young people who have been introduced to bridge through the Club’s involvement in teaching in Schools and Universities.

The Manchester Bridge Club has also been a leading promoter of the game, hosting events including visiting Polish, Chinese, Swedish and Welsh international teams and entertaining famous keen players such as film star Omar Sharif, cricketer Farokh Engineer and Norwegian footballer, Martin Andresen.

In 2002 the Club was one of the principle inspirations behind the first ever Commonwealth Nations Bridge Championship held just prior to the Commonwealth Games. Its huge success brought with it aspirations to create something even bigger… a Bridge tournament  setting Europe against America on similar lines to its golf equivalent, the famous Ryder Cup In 2006 the first such tournament was held in Ireland at the same time as the Ryder Cup and with the support of famous American investor Warren Buffett. It became known as the Warren Buffett Cup and in 2008 The Manchester Bridge Club member, Paul Hackett, captained Europe to victory in Louisville, Kentucky.
