Quotes from the After-School Club
- It is really good and very fun (5 stars)
- It is enjoyable playing extra bridge after school
- Every session better than the last and I have been remembering and picking up the mechanics eg whether to go for part score or game
- Amazing, I’ve learned a lot in just a few sessions. I also know all the tips and tricks too. Can it continue next year?
- Bridge club is very good and fun. The people make it really fun and easy to learn. It is really enjoyable
- Much more engaging than I thought it would be, and great fun with friends
- Bridge is very fun because it has a lot of strategy which lets players have skill and be proud of themselves
Quotes from the 6th Form Enrichment students
- Enjoyable game – good exercise in memory and thinking through plays. Still feels like a lot to learn but very helpful and constructive teaching
- Nice to get to know how to play a new game. Lots of maths involved (not my strong suit). Interesting playing together - better than being dummy
- Bridge is a very interesting game that involved far more layers and skill than I anticipated. However, the instructors always explain it well. Very enjoyable

| Bridge at Woodmancote School |
Pupils at Woodmancote School, Cheltenham, have been learning the game with the help of Cheltenham Bridge Club volunteers.
Teacher, Paul Adkin, said: "It's absolutely delightful to see the children play bridge.
"They pick it up quickly, and it's a great example of a game which supports their learning on so many levels. It involves turn-taking, logic, long-term strategy, showing patience and, of course, maths.
"What's most important of all is that they enjoy it."
See this delightful report by BBC Gloucestershire.
