We are a friendly and active club running 9 pairs sessions per week, visitors and new members are always welcome whatever their experience level. 

Classes are available for those new to club bridge or returning to it.

With so many different lesson and play sessions available for those early in their bridge development, the club has recently pulled together a document that shows what is available. The document outlines how the different lessons and play sessions work together and provides brief information about each allowing you to choose the path most suited to you. Click Here to view the document and look out for a copy on the club wall. We hope you find it useful and a bridge (sorry no pun intended) to playing at the club.

The next Social Bridge session will be on Saturday 11th January at 6.45pm. The December session has been cancelled. Please do consider attending Saturday evening social bridge which is enjoyable but not competitive. These sessions are ideal for beginners or Improvers, but more accomplished players are also welcome.

On Sunday 17th November the chairman and secretary of York Bridge Club attended a Development day at the Leeds Hilton Hotel organised by YCBA. 

Sessions included a presentation of the Mentoring Scheme run at Leeds Bridge Club. Another session covered how Pianola can be used to best effect to both manage Club data and as a performance monitoring and reporting system for bridge players.

After lunch there was a presentation from the chairman of The Bridge Company (pictured), a Danish company dedicated to developing bridge solutions. Delegates heard about the advantages of dealing hands at the table during play by using a dealing machine and  a tablet at each table. This avoids the need to pre-deal boards in advance of sessions, and can also be used as an invaluable teaching aide. 

Finally we enjoyed a presentation on building a digital community by using either Facebook or Twitter to promote bridge club's. It is reassuring to know that our Club is already adopting much of the considered best practice, particularly in its use of Pianola and Facebook. It was a worthwhile day and we've brought back some ideas to consider within our bridge club.

At a Club session have you:-

• missed out on game and had to settle for a part-score?

• failed to win overtricks when others have?

In short, have you got a poor score on a board and you’re not quite sure what went wrong? Help is now at hand. ...........Read More
