Welcome to Paul's Bridge Lessons
October 14th - Random Hands

We will play a set of randomly generated hands.  

 

New Location for Wednesday Bridge

Starting from September 2nd 2026 and primarily due to increasing numbers we will be meeting at a new location: Church Hall, Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church, Cambourne Avenue, Bedgrove, Aylesbury, HP21 7AH.  

Whatsapp Group

To make it fair for everyone I am outlining some rules to help everything run smoothly. 

We have a Whatsapp group to manage attendance to the sessions.  A poll will be sent out on Tuesday so you can reserve a place.  Please respond by 9 a.m. on the morning of the session to make sure you can play.  I will always try to find a place for anyone who books late or turns up without booking but this cannot be guaranteed.
