| Beginner Lessons - New Courses |
New Beginner course starting Monday 16th September at Greenacre Hall (Next to Drayton Parslow Sports and Social Club). Lessons are from 7.45pm to 9.15pm♠ ♥ ♦ ♣
If you would like to book on the please complete the form below.
Beginner lessons are £12.50 per person and payable in 5 week slots. The full beginner course is 15 weeks, however, you can book on the first 5 to see how you like it.....I'm sure you will as most people do. All lessons are relaxed and friendly and not at all intimidating. As a teacher I do understand that it can be quite daunting to start something new as an adult and the course is set up to help everyone enjoy starting a new interest. The club is run so that it is easy to play and practice as a beginner.
Bridge is a fantastic game in so many ways, I have been thrilled with how popular it has become in this area!

| Abbey Smith! |
 I was taught Bridge by my Dad when I was 12 years old and have been playing ever since. I was fortunate to get the opportunity to enter junior trials when I was 16 and managed to be selected for the British Junior Squad and the English Under 20s team. In 1995 it was a privilege to be asked to partner Sandra Landy in the Beijing World Championships. At the time I was the youngest player to represent their country at non-junior level for any Nation. The highlight of my international experience was being a member of the British Ladies Team which won the European Championships in Malta in 1999.
More recently my priorities have changed as I am married with 3 young daughters. However, I have started teaching bridge and love it!
