  BRUSH UP ON YOUR BRIDGE

We're now running an extra session on Friday afternoons, starting at 1.15. It’s aimed at players who haven’t played (much) bridge for quite a while, and people newer to bridge altogether.

With others to play with & against, and a few more experienced players on hand to advise, you’ll have a chance to practice bidding and playing in a duplicate session.   We can start as gently as you want, then gradually build up to real session play, at normal playing speeds.

We also welcome more experienced volunteers to assist, and players at other levels to join us as partners and opponents. Whatever your ability, there could be a role for you.

Please let us know if you’d like to come along and take part. You can ring Chris on 07960 245 440 or email originalcheshirecat1987@yahoo.co.uk.
