Marge “Which part of the morning paper are you reading Homer?”

Homer “The bridge column…[laughing] Oh, that South you never know what he’ll do next”.

Who plays bridge? Certainly not Homer, but bridge is prominent throughout the celebrity and political world: Omar Sharif to the rock band, Radiohead and Winston Churchill to Mahatma Ghandi!

From nine year-olds to ninety year-olds - all different people and ages are fascinated by the game. Bridge is a rapidly growing pastime with ever more individuals enjoying what the game has to offer.

Families:

In these days of electronic entertainment, including television with its computer games and videos, more and more people are returning to board and card games as families see the value of learning and playing together in a more social, interactive environment.

Couples, partners:

Many couples attend classes together. It’s cheap, it’s a great way to make new acquaintances and bridge is a game that can be enjoyed for life.
Playing at home saves paying for a babysitter. It provides an ideal opportunity to have friends round for supper, drinks and a friendly game.

Singles:

What better way to make friends than to take up bridge! For starters, you don’t need a partner. Sign up for a course and let bridge do the rest.
