The Rhiwbina Bridge Club is starting two sets of bridge lessons in the Rhiwbina Memorial Hall this coming September as follows:

1. For complete beginners on a Tuesday afternoon from 12.30 pm to 2.30 pm. This is intended for people with no (or very little) knowledge of the game.

2. For improvers on a Monday afternoon from 1 pm to 3 pm. This is intended for people who have a basic knowledge of the game and would like to improve. They may already have been on a previous beginners’ course.

The courses will last for three 10-week terms starting week beginning 9 September lasting until the end of June 2025. The cost is £50 per person per term payable upfront - plus the option of a textbook costing £20.

Please speak to your friends and relatives, etc. about this and tell them what a fantastic game bridge is! A poster advertising the lessons is attached which we hope you might be able to display in a suitable place. (A version in Welsh is also available if needed.)

Please ask anybody interested in the lessons to contact: Roger Wright, telephone 07811 509490 or email roger.wright100.t21@btinternet.com

We are also looking for club members to help the teacher at the sessions. If you can help, please let Enid Lewis  know so that she can draw up a rota. Enid can be contacted by email: enid.lewis28@icloud.com.  This past year it has been a case of once every four weeks, so hardly an onerous task. Some people chose to come more frequently!

Please be mindful that COVID has not gone away,  if you are feeling unwell, please do not come to the club.

It is most important that you read the Guidelines set out to keep everyone safe while playing bridge at the club.

Please try and keep track of how many Realbridge sessions you have played vs the number you have paid for, rather than waiting for the club to notify you. 

You can see the list by clicking on Realbridge Attendance, which is the 9th item down in the main menu on the left. 

This doesn't tell the whole story though because if you play with a guest you will have to pay for both of you but will only be counted once in the list. 

 Things will run much more efficiently if you can each take responsibility for topping-up your table money credit before it runs chase you for a further payment. 

Information on how to pay can be found by clicking here.
