The Club operates a policy of "Best Behaviour at Bridge" as advocated by the EBU
Regular sessions at the club are: 10.00 Mondays Lessons, 12.45 Mondays Face to Face Duplicate and 19.00 Tuesdays Improvers Duplicate, all at Grassmoor Community Centre. Members are expected to arrive with a partner. Visitors to the area are very welcome to attend singly or with a partner and will always get a partner
Improvers
Tuesday sessions are aimed at easing our students into full Club play. As such, Improvers are "cut some slack". They cannot converse during bidding nor play but they are encouraged to discuss hands afterwards with everyone at the table. Mistakes are made and play is a little slower than usual. Please make allowances and enjoy the bridge.
Learners
Our beginner's bridge programme continues on Monday mornings at 1000 at Grassmoor Community Centre. For further information contact Clive Case on 07923 375247 or clivecase@btinternet.com.All welcome. 1st lesson is free.
Our improvers programme continues alongside this session.
