Maureen Nichols continues to offer lessons on Monday mornings. Maureen is a master of the game and successful teacher of hundreds of students, most of whom quickly learn to love the game and become regulars at the club.  Cost is $6.00 per lesson.

Our Peterborough Bridge Club members recognize the important role these lessons play in attracting new people to the game of duplicate bridge and to our club. Please tell your friends and family about this  opportunity to learn the game in a supported and friendly setting.
