Welcome to BELFAST U3A BRIDGE GROUPS
FACE TO FACE DUPLICATE BRIDGE ON FRIDAY MORNINGS 10.00am to 12.15pm

There are currently no Government Covid restrictions in place but we ask members to continue to take some precautions. 

Please don't attend if you have tested positive for Covid-19 within the past 7 days or if you are feeling unwell. Wearing of face masks is optional but if others at the table ask you to wear one, please do so. Hand sanitiser will be available for you to sanitise your hands when you enter the room but we recommend that you also bring your own small hand sanitiser bottle for use during play. This way we don't have to clutter the tables with hand sanitiser bottles. 

You need to arrange a partner in advance. We have set up a Belfast U3A Bridge Whatsapp group for members to use for this purpose. Because there is limited space in the room, numbers are restricted.  Any members, wishing to join the group should contact one of the convenors by email via the following link Bridge Duplicate 1  . There is a waiting list in operation.

For those members who prefer to play online, there is a U3A Online Group which plays every Tuesday morning on the Real Bridge Online website - contact one of the convenors by email via the following link Bridge Online Duplicate 2
