The Eilean's Bridge Club, offers the opportunity to members of the community to play the game of Bridge in a supportive and friendly environment regardless of ability or ethnicity. Our fledgling Club has shown that positive relationships between people who may not otherwise have come together have been formed. Thanks to funding by TNL Community Fund, we have been able to offer 36 weeks of free beginners bridge tuition to residents in Millport.
Project Description
The Bridging the Gap Project has attracted many residents keen to learn new skills which involve Sociable, Active Mindsport in a warm and welcoming daytime activity which in many ways will help alleviate the economic pressures that have been brought about by the cost of living crisis.
Due to the number of people who have registered for beginners bridge lessons, it is necessary to have appropriate bridge tables which can be stored easily,. The tables will provide for the game of bridge to be played on suitable surfaces without the varying bridge accessories slipping or being knocked onto the floor. Ths in turn creates a more enjoyable experience for the players as they concentrate on the learning process of this fascinating game.
Five tables 89cm x 89cm @ a cost of £165 each would be a valuable acquisition for the club.
Location: Millport is the town on the Isle of Cumbrae which features in the SIMD statics. This project will give participants the opportunity to nurture new friendships whilst learning a new skill for life.
Proposed on behalf of: The Eilean's Bridge Club, Millport Isle of Cumbrae
