Bridge Tuition

10 Week BEGIN BRIDGE COURSE Starts on Monday 5th June at 7.00pm (There was a taster session on 22nd May)

The Beginners' and Continuing Bridge Lessons ably run by Simon, Jon, Sooz and Stephen with their helpers have proved to be very successful in introducing new people to our wonderful game.

Courses will continue to be held at least twice a year with the aim of providing a continuous flow of beginners and new members. There is a Bridge Beginners' Lessons flier (Click HERE) and we hope that you will arrange for them to be placed in your golf clubs, gyms and nearby shops to help to generate interest. Laminated copies can be obtained from the Bridge Office.

Up until now it has not been possible to run an evening course for those who cannot get away from work. All this is about to change, as we will be starting a new Course on Monday evenings starting the 5th June at 7.00pm.   

Please spread the word around. To help you I also attach a flier (Click HERE) specifically for this course.

By getting people to learn to play bridge you will be doing your part in keeping the game going for many years to come and supporting your Club
