Courses at the Club

Whether you are new to cards or an experienced player our courses have a lot to offer. We have listed our courses in order of difficulty, easiest first. Most of our courses revise the material in the previous course and then extend it this method culminates in "The Red cCourse" which is roughly equivalent to Andrew’s Intermediate BridgeCast channel. Click here for information on all his five BridgeCast channels from Beginner upwards.  After "The Red Course" our courses can be taken in any order. 

If you are not a beginner, but are unsure about which course to take, it is a good idea to come along to the club and attend one of our Rubber Bridge sessions (click the orange Playing Schedule top right). A partner is not necessary for any of these sessions, and  there is plenty of at-the-table-advice from our team of supervisors, who will be able to help you decide which course is right for you.
