Request from U3A
I am the Chairperson of a u3a group in Co Down. We are looking for someone to teach bridge to a group of players who have a little basic knowledge and some who are returning to bridge after a few years. Can you help or point me in the right direction? I’d be happy to have a chat with someone so I’ve included my mobile no below.
