Bridge Lessons:

For general bridge lessons, call the Woman’s Club to get your name on the list if you want to learn or improve your bridge game.  When we have enough people interested in learning, we’ll set up a group and decide on best meeting days and times.

Lessons are provided for rubber/party bridge and duplicate bridge. Find more information about lessons under their titles.

Rubber/Party Bridge

Four times a month, you can play bridge at the Woman’s Club. There are three teams: Ever Young, Heritage, and Queen of Diamonds Marathon. Read more about each team by clicking on the names.

Duplicate Bridge

Ace of Hearts duplicate Bridge is open to the general public and does not require membership in the Woman’s Club. There is an entry fee to play; Woman’s Club members receive a discount. Our duplicate bridge group is affiliated with the American Contract Bridge League. Read about the Ace of Hearts by clicking HERE.

Duplicate Bridge is the most widely used variation of contract bridge in club and tournament play. It is called duplicate because the same bridge deal (i.e. the specific arrangement of the 52 cards into the four hands) is played at each table, and scoring is based on relative performance. In this way, every hand, whether strong or weak, is played in competition with others playing identical cards, and the element of skill is heightened while that of chance is reduced. More information about Duplicate Bridge can be found on the American contract Bridge League (ACBL) website, acbl.org
