What's New!

Noorul and Andrew are pleased to announce that two new sessions are to be added to the club's weekly duplicate schedule from September 7th 2010:

1. Tuesday Teatime Duplicate (1:30pm – 4:30pm)
Bridge will start at 1:30pm sharp with a break for tea in the middle.

2. Tuesday Evening Gentle Duplicate (7:45pm – 10:45pm) This will run alongside, but be separate from our regular Tuesday Evening Duplicate. Play in a relaxed atmosphere against like-minded opponents.

Our next set of lessons starts in September. We are pleased to announce that, due to popular demand, we are introducing a "Next Step in a  Weekend" course. We are also running our successful Declarer Play course for a second time. These, along with all our courses, have been specially designed for the club by our teaching expert, Andrew McIntosh. For those new to the game, we are running Daytime and Evening Beginners' courses as well as our ever-popular Learn in a Weekend Course. Those of you wishing to refresh or improve your game can choose from the Next Step, Intermediate Plus or Advanced Courses.

All the courses are designed and will be taught by British International and World Life Master, Andrew McIntosh (resident bridge expert on Celebrity Grand Slam Bridge). For details of all our courses, please click here.
