Beginners Bridge Course
Beginners Bridge Course 2024
Come and learn this fascinating game.  We are running a one-year bridge course for absolute beginners / those returning to bridge after a long absence. We aim to teach enough bridge to enable you to feel confident to play at Newent Bridge Club or with family and friends. There is also potential for a second year ‘Improvers’ course.
‘Gentle Bridge’ sessions will be arranged towards the end of the first year where there will be someone on hand to provide advice and guidance.

Our Beginner’s Bridge course follows the English Bridge Union's (EBU) ‘Beginning Bridge’ programme. Enjoy learning to play bridge in a fun, friendly environment where you will meet new people. No previous knowledge of cards is required.
