Welcome to the Havelock North Bridge Club.

Our attractive club rooms are at Guthrie Park, 51 Brookvale Road, Havelock North.

What is Bridge?

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, Bridge is the English pronunciation of a game called Biritch, which was also known as Russian Whist.Many variants of bridge have been played for centuries. The modern game emerged following rule changes proposed by Harold Vanderbilt in 1925, which were designed to make the game more challenging, interesting, and balanced. And the changes delivered in spades!

Learn to play Bridge.

Come and learn to play this most intriguing card game. If you are looking for a leisure activity which keeps your brain active and allows you to make new friends, at a very reasonable cost, bridge is the game for you. It can be played at any age from 5 - 100+. The earlier you start the better! Maybe you could gain a place in our New Zealand Youth Team, or our Seniors Team, and travel the world playing bridge. Bridge is fascinating, challenging, and frustrating, but always enjoyable. It is a card game that will never bore you and one that you can learn to whatever level suits you.
