Join our bridge teacher Dom Rayner for a fantastic weekend of learning bridge bidding. You'll take your first steps into the auction, using your existing knowledge of trick playing games (like whist or minibridge). Dom enthusiastically guide you step by step to ensure that you have a great experience and get a good understanding of how to bid. Enjoy the weekend, take time to meet new people and relax in pleasant surroundings and, by the end of the weekend, you will return home eager to practice your new skills and be ready to learn more new tricks and techniques!
If you need to catch up on the card play, find further information on Dom Rayner's website.
Alternatively, if you need to learn the basics of minibridge before moving onto bidding, join us for a Beginners' Bridge break: Beginners' Bridge Weekend in Yorkshire and Beginners' Bridge Weekend near Stratford-upon-Avon.
