| Novice & Improvers Session |
Are you looking to improve your Bridge?
Then why not come to our Novice & Improvers Session on a Wednesday afternoon. You will get supervision and support during the bidding and play.
This session caters for a wide range of player levels, from students in our bridge Academy who have completed at least lessons 1-20, to experienced beginners already playing in club tournaments.
The session starts at 1pm (aim to arrive at least 10mins before the start time) and finishes before 4pm. You can turn up on your own or with a partner. Visitors are welcome.
An estimated 15-18 hands will be played. David Briggs (Director of the MBA) writes a commentary on the hands played and that will be available to take away with you.
Table money will be £3.00 payable by debit or credit card on the day.

We aim to play 24 hands of bridge with a finish time of no later than 4.00 pm for afternoon sessions so that people can park on the main road if needed.
In addition, the second Tuesday evening of each month is a F2F teams of four tournament at the club and on the fourth Tuesday evening of each month we hold a 'Draw for Partners' pairs tournament.
Visitors are always welcome at our F2F tournaments.

| Daily Social Bridge Games |
We offer daily games of Social Bridge on the RealBridge platform for use by players making up their own tables of four. There is a £2 charge for this service which has to be paid by one of the four players who acts as the Host player and who logs in using the Social Bridge Host button in our menu. Click on this article to read more about this service.
Hosts should check that the Host button shows the current date before paying as otherwise you might be playing the hands that were played the day before. Guest players can log in for free using the Social Bridge Guest button. None of the four players needs to be members of the club as no passwords are required.
After logging in to RealBridge the host can add a table if the ones showing have all been used, using the + late table button, or start off the first board for the first table by clicking on the Start round 1 button.
