The Island Bridge Club is looking to recruit new and experienced players to join them in Ryde.
Meeting up to 3 times a week at Ryde Baptist Church on George Street, sessions range from those aimed at experienced players or improvers, as well as those looking to pick the game up for the first time.
Contract bridge, or simply bridge, is a trick-taking card game using a standard 52-card deck. In its basic format, it is played by 4 players in 2 competing partnerships, with partners sitting opposite each other around a table.
The game consists of a number of deals, each progressing through 4 phases. The cards are dealt to the players; then the players call (or bid) in an auction seeking to take the contract, specifying how many tricks the partnership receiving the contract (the declaring side) needs to take to receive points for the deal.
On both Mondays and Fridays, the club meets at 13:45, with there being a more relaxed session on Thursday mornings at 10:00.
Paid parking is available in the nearby Coop car park.
