Education
Education and Training at Bendigo Bridge Club

The Bendigo Bridge Club values all its members.  The club tries to provide training for all skill levels to assist its members to improve their bridge bidding and play.  The club believes that improving your bridge can also increase your enjoyment of the game.

If there is an area of bridge that you would like to explore, and it is missing from the club education and training schedule please use the "Contact Us" under the Information menu tab to send in your ideas so the Education Subcommittee can look to include that topic in our forward schedule of training courses, or mentoring/coaching programme.

 

Current Bridge Workshops Program

We are not running any workshops at the moment.  We do have supervised play on Wednesday nights starting 7pm for our recent lesson graduates.  All beginners who have completed basic lessons are welcome, we will try to accommodate you as best as possible but preferable if you can contact us ahead of time so we have an idea about numbers.
