Hi! is
a lively London-based network for learning and playing bridge. Beginners, refreshers
and more experienced players all catered for. We meet in different parts of London.
We think bridge should be fun we use congenial venues where you can get
a drink while you play. We offer classes for absolute beginners see below
but if you know the basics, even at a most rudimentary level, just show
up at one of our games and you will be made welcome and we will soon get you improving
and having fun. If
youve recently done beginner lessons, with us or elsewhere, or learnt some
time ago and are thinking of restarting, we are the group for you. We will help
you learn and progress; advice is available as needed at all times. More experienced
players are equally welcome. Many of our players graduate to regular club games. Singles,
couples and groups all welcome. Single players can come without a bridge partner
and are always guaranteed a game. |
