Welcome!

Things to do in Gloucester:
play Bridge on Tuesday afternoons (gentle) or Thursday evenings at our club!

No partner = no problem; just turn up and we will provide a partner.

Everyone is welcome to visit during any of our sessions to see what Bridge is and what we get up to.  No need to tell us beforehand.

If you want to learn to play see below.
