Start playing bridge at the 2020 Waiheke Bridge Club in the Morra Hall

 Don’t miss out on our online lessons.

Limited places are again available for players to join the 2020 Waiheke Bridge Club this year 2024.

Get into bridge in a fast, enjoyable way on an exciting video online platform Real Bridge Online. You will be playing bridge from the very first night and developing your skill and confidence as you play with others in the group.

If you have played before (even long ago), and just need a refresher, there will be Fasttrack options available. If you just love cards or have been around bridge players and feel interested you are also very welcome. We play good bridge in a friendly environment.

The SIX sessions will be from 7-9pm from Monday 8 April to Monday 13 May 2024, catering also for people working during the day.

Lessons Fee: $75, which includes membership of our Club through to 31 December 2024.

I’m giving up bridge – tonight’s my last night
It’s amen to Stayman, I give up the fight.
The insults and muddles are giving me troubles.
I can’t sleep at night for thinking of doubles.

My cards are all rotten
And I have forgotten
Who has played what and what is trump
Sitting for hours with a sore rump

So it’s all over tonight – I’m off to the backwoods
I’m bidding goodbye to Gerber and Blackwoods.
I can’t stand the hassle,
I can’t stand the pain
I’m getting those bad cards again and again.

Another bad nightNothing’s gone right.
My partner’s a dope
I’m losing all hope.
When opponents say “double”
I know we’re in trouble.

My points are not high,
and I’m wondering why
She kept on bidding right up to the sky.
We’re in seven spades,
I doubt she makes
When surprise, surprise,
all tricks she takes

The defenders feel sick
My partner’s really slick.
All of a sudden,
gone is my sorrow
And yes, I’ll play again tomorrow!
