Learning, training and improving
Training

Olicana Bridge Club is keen for everyone to have the opportunity to learn to play bridge and also for all to have the opportunity to improve their bridge playing skills.

We currently have a Guided session on a Wednesday morning from 9.55am until 12noon which offers players the opportunity to play duplicate bridge using duplimates and bidding boxes in a very friendly environment.

We also have a Guided  Duplicate session on a Monday afternoon from 1.45pm to around 4.30pm.  Lots of help offered if required in a very relaxed environment.

Both Guided sessions are hosted so you can come without a partner.

 

We also have teaching sessions (fees usually payable) run by qualified bridge teachers on a regular basis for both new starters and improvers. If you are interested in taking part or would like to find out more please email us via the contact us link for more information.
