| Learners and Improvers |
Stephen Halston is running various bridge lessons for anyone who wants to learn bridge or to improve their bridge standard and understanding.
These sessions are held on Thursday afternoons from 1.30 to 4.00pm and everyone is welcome.
From October 2025 on, the lessons on Thursday afternoons are a follow on for those people who previously went to Stephen’s fast track bridge course.
From January on, Stephen is running improver sessions. These will include a teams v pairs session which will be extremely useful, especially to anyone interested in playing in the Yorkshire League. Whenever the teaching sessions are not running, social bridge is played. Stephen has very kindly said that any member of Bradford Bridge Club is welcome to come to any or all of the sessions at no charge.
