Andrew Robson Bridge Holidays are unique. It is important to stress that they are not aimed at the type of player who likes a serious 24-board Duplicate every night; instead the emphasis is on instruction, with a little gentle competition, played in the friendly, social manner that so typefies the ethos of Andrew’s Club.
Each year we run two ski/bridge holidays, a European midweek break, a summer holiday, several UK midweek breaks and five weekends at The Millstream Hotel in Bosham.
No Partner is needed on any ARB holiday and anyone is welcome to come on our holidays (you do not need to be a member of Andrew’s club), although we can’t cater for complete beginners. The bridge standard is wide ranging friendly Intermediate!
Please contact Jack Stocken on 07775 892 720 or email him at jack@yorkshirebridge.com with any questions you may have about any of our holidays

He has an easy-going manner and charm that ensures a lovely, relaxed atmosphere. Paddy has been working at Andrew’s club for seven years – what a fabulous and popular member of their team – and what a brilliant memory for names!
