Learn to play Bridge at The New Melville |
Are you interested in learning how to play Bridge? If you are, we offer lessons at the best bridge academy in town with a team of dedicated teachers and excellent facilities. Classes for the autumn term will start the week beginning Monday 23 September and are offered at various levels from complete beginner to those wanting to improve their game.
Click on the Melville Bridge Academy button at the top of this page for more details and the full programme of lessons we are offering this autumn.
NEW! General Revision Class added.
Bridge is fun, sociable and good for your brain. For most people, playing around a card table is the most enjoyable format of the game but it can also be enjoyed on-line from the comfort of your home.

Bridge Sessions for Players New to the Game |
On Tuesday evenings at Pinkhill we hold an Improvers Pairs session at 7.00 pm. These sessions are aimed at people making the transition from student to club player. They will help to build confidence enabling new players to play hands in under 8 minutes - the club standard is a maximum of 7 minutes per board. Help and guidance will be given intermittently on aspects of bidding, play and table organisation. Players with, or without a partner are most welcome.
On Wednesday afternoons at Pinkhill we hold a Novices Pairs session aimed at players who have completed one or more years of lessons. Help with the bidding and play will be provided from an experienced player.
Table money for each of the above sessions is £3.50 payable by debit or credit card at the bar.
Written commentaries of the hands will also be available to take away after play has finished.
