Play & Improve

Overview

They say that once you start learning bridge you are learning forever, so why not continue your journey somewhere wonderful? Join our friendly director and hosts on a Play & Improve holiday, ideal for bridge players who have been playing at their local club for a while and want to develop their card game and techniques.

The emphasis is on learning and improving through interactional seminars during the day, followed by leisurely evening hands based on the seminar topic. There is plenty of card play hands to develop learning on themes, without formal evening duplicate play. Our friendly team will offer teaching and coaching if required, and you’re free to ask questions along the way!

Each holiday is accompanied by our loyal and welcoming bridge team, and partners are always found for solo players. We also include an excursion to showcase the local area and, of course, there’s free time to relax or explore your chosen destination as you wish. No Masterpoints are awarded and there will be no adjustment to your NGS rating.
