The Bridge Study Group

The Bridge Study Group consists of approximately thirteen members who play ACOL at an intermediate level. Members take it in turns to host the weekly meetings in their homes on a rota basis, normally at 2.30 p.m. on a Tuesday, but occasionally on a Thursday. Apart from providing tea and biscuits, no further expense is incurred other than joining the U3A initially. Games are played in a relaxed and competitive atmosphere, and members have gained a great deal from the friendships made. Any bridge players wishing to join these arrangements would be made very welcome.

Our annual dinner was held at the Coach & Horses in Fenny Bentley on 23rd January. The whole evening was a great success.
The bridge group has now been meeting on a weekly basis for the last 3 ½ years, with breaks for only the Christmas and New Year periods, and the standard of play has improved considerably.
We continue to host in our homes
as explained above.
