Once you've mastered the basics of bridge, you need an extended opportunity to consolidate what you've learned in a safe, friendly environment – with help at hand when you need it. Play & Learn provides exactly that. You're playing duplicate bridge, but you can ask for help at any time, whether it's bidding, declarer play or defence. And if you've made a mistake (don't we all?) you can always 'rewind' and have another try.All the while, you'll also be getting a gentle introduction to the little matters of etiquette and fair play that will prepare you for the exciting world of 'real' duplicate bridge that awaits you.

The 14 hands we play each week have recently been played by more experienced players at Bath Bridge Club, so we can compare our results with theirs and see how we did. After the session our results, together with the hands, are posted on the website, and we also pick a hand with a useful teaching point and feature it as 'hand of the week' on the website.
