Hamilton Bridge Club Free Lessons

Bruce Cresswell from Hamilton Contract Bridge Club

Bridge is considered to be a challenging game of skill but comes with an undeserved reputation of being hard to learn. Hamilton Bridge Club offers free lessons that will take you through the twin skills of bidding and playing. These twin skills ,
in addition to keeping the mind active, also offer new friendships based on newly learnt skills, meeting like minded individuals and the opportunity to travel to local, national and international tournaments.

And for younger people the added challenge of a contest with the most powerful computer (the human brain) as opposed to programmed computer computer objective steps. Humans have subjectivity, nuance, communication and subjective thinking, competition and interaction. Such contests provide real competition based on graded playing skills.

So come along, accept the challenge and the social and mental rewards from a skilled and competitive game.

Bring family, friends, lovers, enemies, workmates or just yourself. Start out as a rank beginner and become a world champion starting on Friday March 15th 10am to Noon or Tuesday 19th March 7pm to 9pm.

You can help grow the Waikato Community Rugby Fund

The Team from Momentum Waikato

Waikato Rugby celebrated 100 years of service to the community in 2021, but due to the pandemic the long-planned celebrations were not held until late 2022.

A highlight was a black-tie event at GloBox Arena at Claudelands where over 300 people enjoyed a wonderful night of reminiscence, remembrance, reconnection and reflection on what our national game means to the Waikato.

Many people put a lot of work into making the evening a massive success by all sorts of measures. One was fundraising $21,000 for the good of the game through auctions and donations, which has recently been transferred to the Waikato Community Rugby Fund at Momentum Waikato.

The Fund grows in perpetuity, with distributed returns only used for the benefit of the amateur community rugby, forever.

Donations to the Waikato Community Rugby Fund are always most welcome, to find out more and donate click the button below.
