FACE-TO-FACE BRIDGE AT OUR CLUB

Leeds Bridge Club is a friendly and active club located within the Moor Allerton Sports and Social Centre in Moortown which is on Stonegate Road.  We are currently offering four face-to-face bridge sessions a week to suit a variety of levels and courses for beginners and improvers.

At present, our club is open to members only and we are following government and EBU guidelines with regard to Covid-19.

We have a booking system for all our bridge sessions.  Click here to go to our 'Book to play bridge at our club' page to register to play in any of the sessions listed below.  You can book up to a week ahead of each session.
