Welcome to the Basingstoke Bridge Club Teaching website

Basingstoke Bridge Club is the largest bridge club in Hampshire and has over 200 members.  We have our own premises, 'Maydene' at the corner of Richmond Rd and Sherborne Rd, Basingstoke.

We have been teaching people to play bridge for over 10 years.  We offer courses for Beginners and Improvers.  We run a Boost your Bridge - Play and Learn session every other Monday evening and Supervised Play sessions every other Wednesday evening.  

Please browse our menu on the left which gives you more information on what we offer.

TRICKS OF THE TRADE

Supervised Play is being replaced on 3rd September with Tricks of the Trade, running fortnightly on Wednesday evenings, online using RealBridge, with 12 deals to play and discuss.

Tricks of the Trade will cover a wide range of topics aimed at players who are looking to develop their game.  

We hope to communicate how experienced players do things – such as judging the bidding, planning the hand, finding extra tricks, signalling, and even the occasional deception in the card play.

The topics should appeal to a wide audience, typically some of the 9-High regulars, and players who don’t need supervision in order to play. Participants will however have access to a commentator who can provide input from years of experience and playing the game in wider competitions.

This is a great opportunity to develop your feel for the game, and to develop your partnership understanding.

For further details or to discuss please email David Lewis.
