About Bath Bridge School

Bath Bridge School was formed in 2007, in the belief that there there ought to be opportunities to play and learn about bridge in Central Bath. Moreover we wanted to create an atmosphere that was welcoming and friendly. The teaching is aimed at providing sufficient confidence and skill to play bridge at a suitable level: at home with friends or very competitively at a bridge club, whatever level best suits the individual.

Teaching

In any bridge class there is always a range of skills, aptitudes, and intellectual curiosity. Then there is the well known fact that people learn in different ways, and at different speeds. That is why we believe in small group teaching. It then becomes possible to give a level of personal attention that is not possible with a big group.

Visual aids are also a feature of our courses. Carefully designed slides and handouts mean that any difficult concepts are explained visually, as well as verbally. And there are hands to play and discuss that also illustrate and reinforce the ides that have been presented.

Phil Cooke have many years of experience in teaching challenging subjects in an easy to understand and informal way. Phil is also a member of The Association of Wine Educators. He is an EBU (English Bridge Union) qualified Bridge Teacher & Tournament Director.

Suitable?

Over the last few years the bridge courses, and play and learn sessions have catered for beginners and many who were already playing bridge, but wanted to improve and extend their playing circle. The backgrounds of those attending include:

• Complete novices wanting to learn this fascinating game
• Playing with friends and wanting to improve their bridge
• Playing social bridge, and wanting to move onto club play
• Returning to bridge after a gap
• Wanting to adapt to the Acol system
• Those new to the area and wanting to meet other bridge players
• Recent learners wanting to improve

Venue

Courses and Monday bridge are held at The Museum of Bath at Work in central Bath, near to the Assembly Rooms and Park & Ride bus stops. Some of those attending previous courses and the social bridge on a Monday live within walking distance, but many come from the surrounding area, including, Frome, Bradford on Avon, Trowbridge, Keynsham, Bathford, Corsham, Norton St Philips, Freshford, Beckington, Coombe Hay, and as far afield as Sherborne & Chipenham.
