SKIPTON Bridge Club goes from strength to strength - and is welcoming new members.

Friendly and lively sessions for both beginners and improvers are held every week.

A spokesperson said: "With tables at levels from novice to experienced improving players, there is a place for everyone. Bridge is a game of many facets: intriguing , challenging, fun, sociable, and open to all."

The club meets at wheelchair-friendly The Champions Church, Carleton Road, Skipton. Potential new members have a free taster session, with members paying £2.50 per session, from 7.30pm to 9pm on Mondays, including refreshments and tuition. No partner is required and a friendly welcome assured.

The club also offers duplicate sessions on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, from 8.45pm to 10pm. A non-EBU club, our ethos is to be relaxed, friendly and inclusive while maintaining competitive standards.  For more details, contact Jesca on 07813 003635 or email skiptonbridgeclub1@gmail.com
