“Moreover, bridge is mentally stimulating and it has been suggested by some doctors that it could help to stave off dementia.”

The open day takes place at Wigan Library on Saturday, March 11, from 9.30am until 1.30pm.

The club was founded in 1936 and has its own premises in Bridgeman Terrace overlooking Mesnes Park. It has tables spread across three playing rooms along with a bar. More information is available from either [email protected] or 01942 243612.
