Social Media Advert - Word Document Template
Promotional Posters - Play Bridge
The leaflets and posters have a “white space” and it is intended that this white space is used to input the details of the local Bridge Club – or Bridge Teacher – or County – or indeed it could have details of a course due to start in the area. A name and telephone number should always be included. The important point is that the posters and/or leaflets indicate what interested people should do next.
Below are some ideas for where you might like to put the posters and leaflets:
- Sports clubs and associations including: Golf, Bowls, Tennis, Chess, Gyms, Swimming, Social and Community Clubs
- Public Noticeboards including Libraries, Schools, Village Halls and Parish noticeboards
- Fairs, Fetes, Conferences e.g. Bath and West Show, Kent Show
- Charities where bridge could assist the charity in meetings its aims
- Local social media groups including Facebook and Nextdoor
- Waiting Rooms including Hairdressers, Doctors, Dentists and Hospitals
- Your Bridge Club web sites
- National Trust

Postcards - Post card (pdf download)
These can be used to send to your members and we envisage this could be for a number of reasons. To say well done on a score of over 70%, well done on achieving their next masterpoint rank, to wish them a happy 60th birthday, to welcome them as new members to your club, well done on completing a beginner’s course or perhaps invite them to a special event at the club or to a charity event.

Club advert templates
Download a basic advert which you can personalise to promote your club's sessions. This is produce in Word, so is editable, and keeps graphics, pictures and colour to a minimum so it can be printed cheaply at home if required.
If you have the design skills and software, and the budget for printing, you may prefer to produce a version which utilises more graphics, pictures, and colours.
Lesson advert templates for personalisation by the club or teacher
These are provided as a jepg or pdf. They can be opened in, or placed into, a design/editing package such as Photoshop, Powerpoint, or InDesign, and the relevant information added in to the blank spaces. You may also be able to put them in a Word document and then use a textbox to superimpose the necessary text. The font used is Myriad Pro. In the heading box it is stretched vertically by 125%.
