The game of Bridge, should be available to all, wherever possible. Here at WBC (Wakefield Bridge Club), we are striving to achieve this.......... 

Physical Access -

1 - Car Parking - Please refer to our "HOW TO FIND US AT WBC (Wakefield Bridge Club)" section in the "MENU", for detailed photographs & written instructions, which include car parking and walking up the slope to our Club, We have extremely limited accessible parking next to the Club, which is regulated & monitored by our landlords. Please do not park here without seeking confirmation of availability from us (contact details on main web-site)  

2 - We are a ground level location, but with a small step into our entrance passageway. We possess a portable ramp, which can be quickly & easily put into position, as required. We can accommodate mobility chairs, quite easily, but we would ask you to contact us first please, so that we can ensure that your time playing with us, is as pleasant as possible.

Toilet Access - We have both female & male accessible toilets within our Club, but due to the constraints of our building, mobility chair users will find it a struggle to use the facilities, for which we can only apologise.  

Card Holders - We have a selection of different types of these freely available for use. Please just ask.

Left Handed Bidding Boxes - We have six of these, either in black or yellow. Please just ask if you require one of these. 

High Visibility Cards - Not currently available, but we are a little bit further down the line with this - we are still looking into this aspect. We are awaiting any progress with playing cards becoming available, that are compatible with our current Card Dealing Machines.

Induction Loop - Again, not currently available - but we are looking into this aspect. We are unsure of their usefulness in our rooms. 

Large Scorecards - Thanks to one of our past members, we trialled some prototypes of these. Although they seemed to be appreciated, we have not continued with this experiment, although they could be resurrected if required.

Lighting -  We now have two individual lights, which are either free standing or clip on to a table, to help alleviate this problem. Please ask if you require this assistance.

We wish to make the playing of the game of Bridge, as accessible as possible, for as many of our population who would wish to play. This is not only for the benefit of our current members, but also for all our future members & visitors, who are, or will become our partners or opponents of the future, in this great game. In a cautionary note, it may also be ourselves in the future, as we never know what the future holds.
