The French Bridge Federation is launching a national bridge promotion campaign until November 4, 2012, with the dual objective of recruiting new players and encouraging non-licensed bridge enthusiasts to discover federal bridge.
Seduction Operation in the Azure Clubs
Discovery offers, open houses, as well as events, demonstrations in public places, and sponsorship tournaments can be found near you, as well as in more than 400 clubs across France.
The departmental clubs participating in the operation are:
BICOLORE BRIDGE CLUB CAGNES SUR MER, VENCOIS BRIDGE CLUB VENCE, ST LAURENT DU VAR BRIDGE CLUB, MENTON BRIDGE CLUB,
LE COLONIAL BRIDGE CLUB NICE
A Mind Sport in Full Democratization
There is no shortage of arguments to convince new enthusiasts, of all ages and from all social backgrounds, who are often captivated by the combination of reflection and strategy that the game offers.
Whether played as a leisure activity or in competition, bridge, which is the only mind sport played with a partner, proves to be a formidable social link in times where loneliness affects more than 4 million people in France. Moreover, during this period of crisis, it is an inexpensive activity that costs less than a cinema ticket.
Bridge, an intergenerational leisure activity, offers a unique opportunity to bring together the youngest and their elders around a shared passion.
