We offer two playing sessions per week as well as seminars for experienced players and occasional charity bridge drives.
The club has recently put on four training sessions for people returning to bridge or absolute beginners which have been exceptionally popular. The next sessions are planned to start in the Spring.
Another charity event is planned for the first half of next year and the club will also be raising money for Children in Need in November.
Something for everyone!
