Students welcomed at Bath BC


You may have noticed a University of Bath student playing at our club recently. In the coming weeks and months, we look forward to welcoming more student players across all our platforms, including RealBridge, the Wiltshire League, and our face-to-face club sessions.

This aligns with two major local and national initiatives:

  • Student Shared Living Agreement: Created by the Student Unions of both Bath universities and colleges, this initiative connects students and local residents to build a stronger, more welcoming community where everyone feels equal.
  • The English Bridge Education and Development, or EBED, working alongside EBU, is heavily focused on youth education, particularly promoting and teaching bridge at the university and college levels.  

We encourage all members to extend a warm welcome to these new young players as we grow our bridge community.

We also offer three teaching sessions: A Beginners' Course and a Continuing Bridge Course. and Improvers' Sessions. See our Teaching section (see Menu, left) for details.

* Assisted Play is designed for improvers and those wanting a 'reboot'.

A note on our session labels

Whereas in the past we've categorised our sessions with reference to NGS grades, we're now focusing more on the feel of the session.

Relaxed   (formerly 9 HIGH and Improvers): the name says it all!
Social   A bit more challenging than Relaxed. This is suitable for most of our members.
Open  A bit more challenging than Social. 

While members are free to attend whatever sessions they find suit them, all members are actively invited to play in our Social Pairs at the club.

Well played!
