Playing your cards right can keep you sharp long after retirement.
Noosa Bridge Club is holding its next course of bridge lessons beginning 4 April in their clubrooms at 3 Wallace Street Noosaville.
Bridge is the most popular card game in the world and a recent study by the Stirling University (Scotland) found that playing bridge has a statistically significant positive effect on wellbeing. This comes as no surprise to bridge players who enjoy the intellectual and social stimulation on a routine basis.
Bridge is a game for any age, all generations from six to 106 can play together and these days, bridge is attracting a younger audience with players in their 20s and 30s learning during the pandemic and continuing to play.
New member Susan joined the last course held in September 2021 and now plays on a regular basis saying “bridge has become a great new interest for me, I particularly love the increasing mental challenge combined with social interaction”.
There is a Saturday session available for weekday workers and once the basic skills have been mastered, the club has a number of competitions available where players of the same ability compete in a friendly atmosphere.
The eight-week course will cost $80 and includes a copy of Paul Marston’s Introduction to Bridge. This beginner’s course will cover the basic concepts of bridge and includes sessions of supervised play where your teacher will be available for help.
