Bridge
Bridge Social (33)
Broadstone Methodist Church, Lower Blandford Road, Broadstone, Poole, BH18 8DT
(parking for leaders and disabled only)
Please see day and time information on the Class Finder page
We are an informal class which gives Poole U3A members the opportunity to play cards while meeting other members. This is not a teaching class so you will need to know a few basics about the game you wish to play and have other class members wanting to play the same game. It is expected that Chicago Bridge will be among the cards games played while others might include Rummy, Whist or Canasta. Joining the class is a very good way for players who have attended Poole U3A’s bridge teaching classes to consolidate what they have already learned and perhaps add to their knowledge. It is not necessary to come with a partner but it would be very useful to know of other class members that wish to play the same card game as you. We meet in the Coffee Lounge of Broadstone Methodist Church.

Bridge Duplicate (31)
Waterloo Social Club, 5 Plantation Rd, Waterloo, Poole, BH17 9LL
Please see day and time information on the Class Finder page
This is the only Duplicate Bridge Club offered by Poole U3A. Duplicate is a natural progression for players familiar with Chicago: the play and the scoring are the same. How many times have you heard players say “Of course we did badly, we had rotten cards!” Well, in Duplicate Bridge you get just as bad, or good, cards as everyone else. The method of play, and the progression from one set of opponents to the next, guarantees that you play exactly the same cards (against different opponents) as every other pair. The winners are the pair(s) that get the highest score. This makes the game an exciting challenge, where every extra trick counts.
Please phone Mandy Shanahan on 07794 106533 for more details of this session.
