If you want to get some practice in beforehand, the Alice Springs Bride Club plays Tuesday from 10am to 1.30pm, Thursday from 7pm to 10.30pm and Saturday from 1pm to 4.30pm at the 50 plus Centre, opposite the Todd Tavern at the end of the Todd Mall. There is no summer break, apart from Christmas Day, so play continues as usual through January. The venue has good airconditioning and members always enjoy our afternoon teas and suppers. Come along and look and learn. There are special sessions for learning on a Sunday afternoon from 4pm to 6pm where people can come along to have a look or to learn to play bridge. Anyone is welcome. All ages can play bridge from 10 to 100 and older. The club has some members who started to learn when 80 years old. As we age, we cannot always do as much physically but with bridge you keep the brain ticking over and do not have to be physically fit. An article recently said if you play bridge you will live until you are 90! However, there are many people who play well past 90. ALICE'S ACTIVE SENIORS Play bridge? Yes, yes, yes There are many good rea sons to learn to play bridge. First and foremost it is a fun game to play. It doesnt matter about age or gender and that is why it is the most popular card game of all time and is called the King of card games. The challenge of bridge is to communicate with your partner and to solve problems. This makes good exercise for the mind. It is widely known that the brain benefits from exercise just as much as the rest of the body. You can enjoy bridge at different levels. So you can play socially or at the local club level and there are national and international championships if you wish to develop your skills even further. It is actually an easy game to learn, despite what you hear. Practice does make perfect. It certainly helps initially if you have played any type of card games, and if you like cards, but that does not preclude anyone from learning. It is mentally challenging, provides ongoing learning (good for mental health), provides social interaction and is a lot of fun. It is also an inexpensive hobby that offers travel opportunities (local/state/national/international). And it is a hobby that can be enjoyed with your partner. Anyone who is interested in playing bridge, or would like more information, contact Eileen Boocock on 0409677356. There are special sessions for learning how to play bridge on a Sunday afternoon from 4pm to 6pm.
