Did you know that along with being a great social activity, playing Bridge can significantly improve memory, problem-solving and critical thinking skills.

Why not take this opportunity to learn how to play Bridge in a relaxed and friendly environment at Highbury House.

We are delighted to welcome Douglas here to teach a short two lesson Bridge Taster course and a further ten week course for those who want to master their Bridge skills. Douglas has been playing Bridge at a competitive level for over 50 years and has represented NZ internationally. He has been teaching for over 15 years so you will definitely be in good hands!

Following these courses, we hope to host weekly social Bridge sessions where you can come and test your skills against others in the community.
