Now that you have completed your MiniBridge Certificates 1 & 2, you are ready for the formal course of MiniBridge Lessons.
We will not be sending out emails; all online events (and logins) will be 'driven' from the events on this page and the Calendar
WhatsApp Group.
It's important that you get to know other students in your group and arrange separate playing sessions with them - WhatsApp is a great way to keep in touch...Please fill-in this form if you wish to join other members of your Beginners group.

Realbridge Playing Sessions
To support your NFB lessons, we have prepared practice hands for you to play on RealBridge to reinforce those lessons.
Once you have bid a hand at the table, do not continue with the play until one of our Mentors tell you if you made the correct bid; if you do not have a resident Mentor at the table please click on the Director button and a Mentor will attend your table.
These commentaries provide an additional, more detailed explanation of the recommended bidding.
