Books

We offer regular online bridge sessions: please click RealBridge.

The club has a useful bridge library with material for the less confident player though to the most experienced. It is managed by Bev Morris and her librarians are Wendy McEntegart, Cheryl Parsons, Juliet Rowe and Sharon Stretton. We are keen to extend the range and buy some new books, so please dont hesitate to make suggestions and donations. The Library operates on an honesty basis and is located at the south western corner of the main bridge room.
