Does the club run lessons?
The Club has an ongoing schedule of beginners and improvers lessons.  When scheduled, these are advertised on our home page, or you can see our Lessons page for more details. 

Can I only play on my grade night?
You may play on any night.  However, you are likely to get most enjoyment and satisfaction from playing with people at a similar level to yourself.  The three playing nights, while broadly streamed, are designed to provide the flexibility to encourage inter-grade play for the benefit of players.  Friday afternoons are more social and is open to all members.

Can I belong to more than one Club?
Certainly.  You must join each club separately, but the NZ Bridge levy is paid once only at the club you nominate as your home club.
