              Thursday night bridge

There are two groups depending on numbers where you can choose on the evening what you want to do.   There will be a social bridge aspect, where a friendly game will take place with helpful advice if required.  

Running at the same time will be an improvers group, an  informal session covering topics in defence, declarer play and bidding - an  opportunity to learn something new, brush  up on something you have perhaps learnt previously, or just improve your game -   17/10 understanding transfers and how to use them more effectively 

Lessons for complete beginners will start in January. ..........
