Play & Learn Wednesday 7PM

 ♠ Play & Learn ♣  

WEDNESDAY EVENING 7PM

Our Play and Learn sessions are ideal for players who have completed a Beginners course but don’t yet feel ready to jump into the No Fear tournament. These sessions offer a gentle transition, where you can play a series of prepared hands, refer to your course notes, and ask for help when you need it. An experienced advisor will be on hand to guide you through any tricky moments.

It’s the perfect opportunity to build your confidence before moving on to No Fear — which is also instructive but assumes you've moved beyond course material and are ready to learn through practice in a more tournament-like setting.

£5/session

No Fear Tournament: Thursday 7PM

 No Fear Tournament 
THURSDAY 7pm

The No Fear Tournament is designed for players who have completed the Beginners’ course.   It provides the ideal platform allowing you to put into practice, what you have learned in a friendly, supportive tournament setting. The other players will, like you, be near the beginning of their Bridge journey.
During this tournament you will:

♠ experience how a tournament is run

 learn to manage your time while playing a full set of boards

 understand the role of the Tournament Director (TD)

♣ become familiar with basic tournament etiquette, including:

                             
1. what happens if someone leads out of turn
                             
2. the consequences of a revoke
                             3. when a card is considered "in play"
                           
 4. taking a card back or changing your mind

The tournament will introduce you to playing social and competitive Bridge in a structured environment, typically over 18–21 boards. 
At the end of the evening:

♠ results will be presented

 you will receive a hand record of all boards played

You will also be given the recommended auction for each board, the correct lead, and a commentary highlighting key boards, especially those involving competitive auctions or complex decisions.
