For a number of months now, a team of club members have been working in Edenside and Ednam  Primary Schools, teaching P7 (and some P6) young people how to play minibridge.  This project has been very successful with cohorts of young people enthusiastically choosing playing and beginning to learn some of the basic skills involved in minibridge.  We are hoping that the project will continue with new cohorts at Edenside and Ednam, but also that we can arrange for last year's P7's to continue playing into High School.

Obviously this has demanded a big weekly commitment from a small number of volunteers (Helen R, Jane N, Gill R, Mary S and Brian Y) and we are calling for additional volunteers to help sustain these sessions into the school year 2026-27.  If you are interested in helping out and enjoying this rewarding work, please reach out to anybody in the team.  They would love to hear from you.  No 'teaching' experience required, simply a readiness to enjoy playing and supporting young people play cards.
