We’re going to Check Out Our Fantastic Bridge Holidays Writer
Robert Tilley has written a fascinating review of a week on the “ Social bridge players SERIOUSLY have fun! Hi, my name is Denise
Dodd and I’m a dedicated Bridge Coach who has been teaching for sixteen years
and playing for almost thirty. I love the challenge of teaching, of seeing
students blossom as they learn a new skill.
My aim is to create a relaxed and friendly environment – a place where
people can meet and learn in a stress-free atmosphere. Life is stressful enough. “Social” is an
important part of all my bridge sessions. Over the years I have taken many Bridge players
and their partners (as well as “non-playing” partners) on successful bridge
holidays to many resorts in SE Queensland as well as several cruises around
the South Pacific. I believe the
reason these tours have been so successful is that whilst people are
sometimes reluctant to travel on their own, they are more than happy to be
part of a group where there is a common interest. I am branching out to SE Asia and China this year
and I invite you to have a look at what I am offering. You do not have to be a bridge player to be
part of the group. The main focus is
on a relaxing social trip, plus sightseeing and shopping. Physical fitness was very important when I was
growing up. Now “Mental Fitness” is
just as important as we move into the next phase of our lives. Bridge is one of the best ways to practice
the “use it or lose it” advice for maintaining mental sharpness. Medical
Research shows that regular bridge playing improves reasoning skills and long
and short term memory. Bridge is, and continues to be, an important training
tool for the brain. Bridge will never bore you. The game can be
exciting, challenging, frustrating and humbling, but it will never be
boring. There are billions of possible
bridge hands (you’ll never see the same hand twice!) so there is something
new on every deal. Each bridge hand
takes just five to ten minutes to play before you move on to the next, so
there are endless possibilities. If you haven’t played before, this is the time to start. If
you already play bridge and need to reconnect, this is the site!
