What we do
We meet to play Bridge, to improve our knowledge of the game and share our enthusiasm with others. Above all we simply aim to enjoy the most wonderful game in the world.
We have about 50 members and the average attendance is about 30 to 35. We welcome new members, whether they already play Bridge or would like to learn to do so.
We start with an optional 30 minute seminar, led by Philip Wraight, to help improve our playing skills. The majority then play informal "Chicago" (a form of bridge where you change partners and opponents every four hands). The less experienced players have structured teaching and supervised card play instead, conducted by Philip Wraight.
A new beginners class is started in any September when there are enough new members wishing to learn the game. We have dabbled in "teams" bridge, where two pairs play as a team, mainly at the annual Christmas party, and have started to play informal matches against other U3A Bridge groups.
