  BCWA members love playing bridge so we provide lots of opportunity for you to play with each other!

  If you are a beginner then the Thursday Bridge Group may be the best place to start.  This club is typically hosted at the group leader's home, starting with tea and coffee at 10.30 am and finishing some time after midday. Players typically put 2 euros in the kitty each time they play - when there is enough money in the kitty, players celebrate with an outing to one of the local restaurants!
  

  Please let the group leader, Mary know, directly if you wish to join her group. Her contact details are in the newsletter.

  For more advanced players, the Monday Bridge Group is a relaxed and friendly group that normally meets at various members' homes in and around Paris. There’s always a tea break with cakes and biscuits but, on special occasions, something stronger is served!

  Contact details for both the Bridge Group leaders can be found in the Monthly Newsletter.

  BCWA members love playing bridge so we provide lots of opportunity for you to play with each other!
  
  For more advanced players, the Monday Bridge Group is a relaxed and friendly group that normally meets at various members' homes in and around Paris. There’s always a tea break with cakes and biscuits but, on special occasions, something stronger is served!
  
  If you are a beginner then the Thursday Bridge Group may be the best place to start.  This club is typically hosted at the group leader's home, starting with tea and coffee at 10.30 am and finishing some time after midday. Players typically put 2 euros in the kitty each time they play - when there is enough money in the kitty, players celebrate with an outing to one of the local restaurants! Please let the group leader, Mary know, directly if you wish to join her group. Her contact details are in the newsletter.

  The Needlecraft group is a joint activity with the Women’s International Club ( Le WIC de Paris), so there are members from both groups. The only “qualifying requirement “ to join is that you bring along some work involving “needles”. This can be any form of sewing, such as patchwork, cross-stitch, embroidery, tapestry work, etc. Knitting or crochet is also welcome as these, of course, also use “needles”.
  
  At various times, members have been making curtains, altering hems on skirts or trousers, making Christmas decorations...or even working on a Portuguese tapestry carpet!
  
  The group meets every Wednesday from 1.30 pm till around 5.00 pm, meeting in each other’s homes. Those who wish to can also finish off the day with a gin and tonic. This is a friendly group, keen to welcome new members.

  If you would like to join this group, please get in touch with the group leader, whose details can be found in the Monthly Newsletter.
