Lessons

We offer Lessons - All welcome

Bridge is a highly addictive game but you cannot start playing after an explanation of 5 minutes. That's why bridge clubs organise lessons for new players.

Starting Monday 19th January 2026 at 7pm, a series of new lessons will start on Monday nights.

The first night is free, then the cost for the lessons is 80.00. In addition, there will be a 25% discount on membership for first year of membership starting 1 July 2026.

In 10 lessons you will learn the basics of bridge, followed by a few sessions of social playing. Then in July, if you decide to become a member, you will be introduced to the junior sessions at the club on a Monday night and your exciting career in playing bridge will start!

It is a highly addictive game - you have been warned

If you are interested in having lessons please complete the details below, we look forward to meeting you.
