Junior Bridge

Thursday 11th June and Thursday 18th June are the remaining Junior Bridge nights this term. Hope you can all make it.

It has been a great season for junior bridge in the East of Scotland with 6 teams going to the Scottish mini bridge champs and 2 team to the Scottish schools.

We also had some juniors at No Fears events winning prizes ! We plan to take more juniors to these as they are great practice.

This term we have guest teachers coming - Liz McGowan and Mike Ash - both internationalists with lots of experience in teaching - I hope you all enjoy their lessons.
