Frequently Asked Questions:
What the difference between the sessions and grades?
Beginners – basic bridge is played and learners will feel comfortable joining in.
Improvers – players have passed the beginner stage and want to improve their game.
Juniors – all new players are considered to be junior grade. Players with more than 30 Rating Points and more than 5 A points will be in higher grades. Here’s a full explanation of the grading system.
Open – means there’ll be a mix of grades playing. Experienced players often join these sessions to coach or demonstrate for newer players.
