Bridge Refresher - using MiniBridge
We are holding Bridge sessions at Gorleston Conservative Club * (NR31 6PE) every Wednesday afternoon starting at 17:00 hrs
See Calendar for further details.
These will be based on Mini-Bridge and are intended to "bring back to the table" those players that have not played for some time.
This is a "self-help" group open to all-comers.
It is preferable to book in advance** so that we can plan for a seat at the table for you; however, please do turn up at the
last minute when you'll be able to kibbutz/spectate.
These are the next 2 week's session plans and the boards that we'll be asking you to deal
