Beginners lessons
In 2024 we will be running Beginner Lessons on Wednesday evenings starting at 7.30pm on 1 May. The series will run for 12 weeks for approximately 2 hours per lesson. There is parking on site.
At the end of the twelve weeks there will be the opportunity to play three weeks of "practice" sessions together to help consolidate what has been covered over the twelve week period before joining with players in the regular Wednesday evening Junior sessions.
If you’d like to know more or sign up, please get in contact with the office manager.

The Victoria Bridge Club offers plenty of space, a large kitchen and is just a stone’s throw away from Wellington CBD.
