| BOOK INTRODUCTION TO BRIDGE WEEKENDS 9/10 and 16/17 May |
 These two weekends will provide an intensive introduction to playing bridge, suitable for new players with no existing knowledge of bridge or other card games. You do not need a partner. There is no need to become a member of the club. The weekends will be run by Julia Davies, an experienced bridge teacher. There is free street parking at weekends. Drinks, snacks and sandwiches will be available for purchase from the bar.
After this introduction, you will be able to join any of our supervised practice sessions to develop your confidence in using the beginning and play techniques covered.
Below is an outline of how the two weekends will run. In general, students would be expected to be available to attend both weekends - but if you can only attend on the first weekend that would be a great start. To register an interest please complete the booking form below and Julia will be back in touch. The cost for the two weekends is £200.
