| BRIDGE LESSONS for Hull, East Yorkshire & North Lincolnshire |
Welcome to the Humber Bridge School.
If you live in Hull, East Yorkshire or North Lincolnshire and are thinking of starting bridge or want to brush up your game, we'd like to help you along your bridge-playing journey. We aim to make it a long and happy one.
What a good choice you have made. Not only is it good for the brain but research in the USA and more recently in the UK has shown bridge to have other health benefits too.
Plus, it's an enjoyable and social game (and you sit down to play!) It does not matter if you have no experience of card-playing so don't worry if that's the case. You will play a game of bridge before the end of the first lesson!
There is a Consolidation Course for those who have successfully completed a beginners' course. Or if you are returning to bridge then this is the perfect refresher course.
This is followed by an Intermediate course to continue building your bridge knowledge and expertise.
Not what you're looking for? Please contact us about alternatives.

| WHO ARE WE? |
The classes are led by Penny Joseph who is an EBU-qualified teacher. Penny has been playing bridge for 28 years and says she still learns something new every week, "Bridge is a great game and one where there is always something new to learn, so you never get bored with it.
We aim in our classes to build up your knowledge like bricks in a wall, so that you end up with a solid structure on good foundations for your bridge-playing.
I can still remember what it was like when I was attending beginners' classes. Initially you think that you are the only one who doesn't "get it" whereas in reality everyone in the class feels exactly the same! Then you have those "light bulb moments" when things begin to fall into place and you appreciate the value of getting to grips with the basic system from the start."
