We offer two opportunities for u3a Bridge Returners.

1. Players who have never played online before and need some 'hand-holding'.

As a u3a Bridge Player, the u3a Bridge Group have arranged a free 6-month membership of 24/7 online playing sessions on BridgeClubLive (BCL). **

The playing sessions on BCL can be a choice of Social Bridge or Club Duplicate Bridge (or both) depending upon preference. In either case we 'hand-hold' the member at the table until they are sufficiently comfortable to join a regular weekly Social Bridge Group on Thursday evenings and/or Social Bridge or a Friendly Duplicate session on Friday afternoons.

If you are interested in joining us and are able to play regularly, please fill-in the application form.

Deadline for next Returners intake is early January 2027 (quarterly thereafter).

2. Players who are familiar with online Bridge Playing Platforms and wish to play competitive Bridge

The u3a Online Duplicate Bridge Group holds weekly RealBridge Sessions on Monday afternoons and Tuesday mornings - further details here

It is recommended that you either read the RealBridge Player Quick Guide or take an 8-hand Taster Session (or both) before joining the Group.

You can pursue either or both opportunities, but whichever one you take, we have a regular informal 'drop-in' session when we will answer any questions you may have - see

on the Calendar Month for details.

** Note: We can only offer the six months free membership on this platform if you have NOT been a previous member of BCL.
