☕ Saturday Morning Bridge – Come and Join Us! ❤️

A little plea to our members!

Please come along this Saturday morning and support our new tournament. This is a trial, and if it proves popular, we hope to make it a regular feature during the winter months.

Georgina will be your TD this Saturday, so I'd love to see a good turnout. After all, I don't want to drag myself out of bed early on a Saturday morning just to find myself playing in an empty room! 😂

We'll play 21–24 boards in a relaxed, informal and friendly atmosphere. Everyone is welcome, so don't be put off if you're not a regular tournament player.

I promise you'll enjoy it — good bridge, good company and a lovely way to start your Saturday.

Please come along and give it a go. Let's make this a success together!

❤️ Georgina



Yes it's that time already! We're getting ready for our Xmas party.   We can promise you that the buffet will be plentiful, the drink free flowing and the Bridge - well that's up to you!

REFRESHER COURSE

Refresh your bridge knowledge and rebuild your confidence

We are pleased to announce our next Refresher Course, designed for players who already know the basics of bridge but would like to refresh their knowledge, gain more practice and rebuild their confidence before playing regularly or moving on to Improver-level bridge.

COURSE DETAILS

Start Date: 5th October
Day: Monday mornings
Time: 10.00am – 12 noon
Duration: 6 weeks
Cost: £85 including VAT

WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR?

This course would suit players who:

  • Learnt bridge some time ago but haven't played for a while.
  • Have completed a Beginner's Course but feel they need more practice before joining a regular club session.
  • Play occasionally but feel rusty or unsure about bidding, play or defence.
  • Understand the basic bidding system but have gaps in their knowledge.
  • Would benefit from guided play and discussion of hands.
  • Want to rebuild their confidence at the table.

TOPICS TO BE COVERED

Over the six weeks we will revisit and develop some important areas of the game, including:

  • Hand Evaluation & the Losing Trick Count (LTC)
  • Overcalls – how to make them and how to respond and deal with them
  • 2C Openings – responses and Roman Key Card Blackwood (RKCB)
  • Reverses
  • Card Play
  • Play Week – putting your knowledge into practice with guided play and discussion

A GREAT WAY TO GET BACK INTO BRIDGE

The course is designed to be friendly, practical and supportive, giving you the opportunity to refresh your knowledge, ask questions, practise your skills and, most importantly, regain confidence at the table.

Whether you've been away from bridge for a while or simply feel you need a little more practice before taking the next step, this course could be just what you need.
