STARTING on Tuesday, January 4, John Chater from Morchard Bishop is planning to run a series of Bridge lessons every Tuesday evening from 7pm to 10pm.

The lessons are free apart from room hire (£2).

Once 20 people sign up, he can get them started.

John explained: "Bridge is the best card game in the world!

"It is not difficult to learn and it is for all age groups and for people from all backgrounds.

"It is very sociable because you make a wide group of new friends and once learnt, you can play as a group of just four at any time and in any place."

The venue will be the Morchard Bishop Sports and Social Club. There is a bar, and refreshments will be available at the break.

John added: "If transport is a problem, let me know and I will try and arrange lifts. Some of the present members of our Bridge Club travel over 45 minutes to get here.

"Why not come along and give it a try?

"If you are interested, please email me at: [email protected] or ring me at 01363 877096."
