Learn Bridge In-Person

Using the links on this page, you can quickly form an overview of where you can find a beginner's course near you. We are currently updating the pages and more clubs will be added continuously.

No bridge prerequisites are required to register for the beginner courses and you do not need to have a partner in advance.
The cities are listed in alphabetical order.

If you are new to bridge, why not take a free taster session with LCBA and see that bridge is for you? Email me on mgrushworth@outlook.com for more information.
