An invitation from St John's Bridge Club...
The club always welcomes new players. Each pair plays each other pair once. That averages to be about one game a month from September to the end of May.
Pairs make arrangements for playing in the home of one or the other pair.
The season ends with a wind-up in June of a supper and pick-up game.
