Free Taster Sessions

Do you know anyone who wants to learn to play Bridge? If so, then please encourage your friends, family, neighbours and colleagues to try one of our Free Taster sessions which we’re running in August and September at Oxford Bridge Club. It's an opportunity see how our Bridge classes are taught, meet the teachers and get to play some Bridge! 

To book a place select your choice of day under ‘Learn to Play Bridge’ in the right hand column of the website. 

OBC and the Oxford Temporary Congestion Charge

Access by car to the club is not affected significantly by the Oxford Temporary Congestion Charge. There aren’t any charge locations on either the Woodstock or Banbury Roads so access from the north is completely free.  There is a charge location on the Marston Ferry Road but it only operates 7am- 9am and 3pm - 6pm Monday to Saturday. Therefore those coming to either a morning or evening session will not be charged if they use Marston Ferry Road.  However members who would previously have travelled through the centre of Oxford to get to the club will have to pass at least one of the charge locations in the city centre that all operate every day 7am - 7pm.
