Lessons in bridge

 

Brisbane Water Bridge Club will hold beginners' lessons from March 4 to March 8.

The course will be held at Ocean Beach Surf Club, Umina, costing $25 for five lessons.

The club welcomes new players and holds six sessions a week.

Days and times of the sessions are published regularly in the "What's on" section of this newspaper.

"There are many medical experts who regard bridge as a great mental sport and exercise," according to club spokesman Jack Lindsay.

"George Rosenkranz is the latest medical expert to extol the virtues of bridge.

"George and his workers at Syntex invented the birth-control pill in 1951.

"George is now 84 and still playing top class bridge.

"A recent study of Alzheimer's disease can be postponed by keeping your mind busy.

"Vigorous mental activity such as bridge, chess, crossword puzzles and reading is essential says Rosenkranz."

To enrol or for more information, telephone 4341 9228 or 0409 220 761.
