No Fear Bridge 

♠ ♥ ♦ ♣ 

If you are someone who has recently started learning bridge and you would like the chance to play without time pressure and with  someone to ask if you need help, then you might like to play in our No Fear Sessions every Thursday Evening at 07.10pm.  There is no need to book, just turn up – there is a host so you can play without a partner.  These Thursday evenings are also suitable for anyone who prefers to play a relaxed game and everyone is most welcome.

   Secondly, from 2027, everyone will pay the same lower membership fee, currently £12.50 - there will no longer be a daytime membership option. Anyone joining, or re-joining, in 2026 will pay the new fee of £12.50 - or relevant proportion, should they join later in the year.
