THE YORK BRIDGE CLUB
welcoming LEARNERS and PLAYERS of all standards
and all those looking to develop a new skill
We warmly welcome players with disabilities. Our club is a single storey, flat-floored building which is able to fully accommodate wheelchairs (in toilets, our café rest area as well as all the playing areas). We also have a hearing loop, large-index playing cards, disabled parking spaces and two electric car charging points.
We are pleased to be able to offer a wide range of ways to play
so you really can engage with bridge your way
from Assisted Play (non-competitive) to the more usual Duplicate sessions
(at various levels: First Step, Gentle, Improvers, Competitive, Championship)
and across multiple formats
Match Pointed Pairs, XIMPs, Swiss Pairs, Teams-of-4, Teams-of-8 (6 Yorkshire League Teams)
We also provide many excellent options for learning
both full courses and pay-as-you-go (topic-based) lessons for
Beginners, Improvers and those at Intermediate levels ... right up to our Advanced Seminar series
as well as free lessons and play for younger/youth players via our Youth Academy

News from the Youth Academy
The Youth Academy is proud to announce that 2 of their former students, Sophie and Bertie have been selected to play for the Under 16 England team in the EBL (European Bridge League) Online Teams event which will last 10 weeks. Only 4 pairs have been chosen to play for England so this is a remarkable achievement.
Qualifying rounds will begin in late January. Many of the international players will be at next year’s Junior European Championships and this will be an ideal opportunity to experience bridge at an international level without having to travel. We wish both Sophie and Bertie the best of luck for the event.
