Beginners Bridge

We are now taking names on a 'first come, first served basis' for our next Beginners Bridge Course starting in June 2026.

The online course has been developed over the past 4 years to ideally suit those u3a members who have never played Bridge before.
The course consists of lesson handouts, videos, quizzes and exercises that you study at home at your own pace.

We have weekly Tuesday afternoon online meetings where key points are discussed, and questions are answered. This is followed by supervised practice sessions where you play hands with other class members to reinforce the lessons you have learned. The course lasts for 24 weeks, and you should be prepared to devote approx 7 hours per week to complete the course. By the end of that time, you will be able to enjoy Bridge games with friends and play in a novices Bridge Club.

Bridge is recognised as one of the most popular u3a activities because it is fun, it keeps you mentally active, it is sociable and a great way to make new friends. Our Beginner’s course gets you off to a great start, but you will continue learning, improving and developing your Bridge for the rest of your life – it’s a never-ending and rewarding journey - sign-up today !!!
