At the end of a season's sailing, playing Bridge regularly is both sociable and a mentally challenging experience.  We alternate each week playing Chicago and Duplicate Bridge.
We have welcomed new members on Thursday evenings at 7pm in the club house.  There are no attendance fees and some coaching can be arranged.
