BRIDGE IN SCHOOLS |
Berks and Bucks CBA is very proud to promote bridge in schools. We would like to take the opportunity to thank Nigel,Tony and all the other volunteers who go into the local schools to promote and teach children the wonderful game of bridge. The EBU have recently put an article on their website including a letter addressed to Nigel and Tony from one of the local schools. It is very rewarding to hear from the children how much they enjoyed learning bridge and how they hope to keep it up when they leave school.
