Bridge is a social game. A recent initiative, which many of our members enjoy, is a long weekend at a country hotel. To celebrate the Millennium we stayed at Conwy, North Wales. More recently we decided to visit Malham where, in addition to playing bridge, our members enjoyed walking, swimming, dining and evening entertainment.

An annual Bridge Luncheon is held at the club for our newly installed Vice President and its success is largely due to the help provided by our own members.

Occasionally we hold coffee mornings and bridge lessons, open to all Brookdale members, which have proved very popular.

New members to the Bridge Section are always welcome. Anyone interested in joining should contact one of the following via the link or at the club directly.
