House of Cards is a day-time bridge
club situated in Merivale. Our philosophy
is to provide a friendly, family-type
environment for bridge players.
Bridge is not only a wonderful,
stimulating game, it is also splendidly
social. We have had much pleasure in
seeing many new friendships flourish over
the years.
House of Cards is especially renowned
for its teaching and we have taught
literally thousands of beginners as well as
improvers, in Christchurch and around
New Zealand. We have run several
national teachers’ conferences and have
been instrumental in creating a national
standard for bridge teachers.
We have also written a whole series
of bridge books for new and improving
players which are widely used in New
Zealand, Australia and the United
Kingdom.
We are a friendly, enthusiastic team
who welcome new players. We have four
sessions dedicated especially for the novice
player, so you needn’t feel nervous!
We will also introduce you to
SkyBridgeClub. This is an online club
catering for the improving player, where
you can practice online during your course.
It’s a great way to learn.
Come in and see us. We’d love to meet you.

audience as the Most Entertaining Chorus.

Belly Dancing
Show your body a little love with some
fun, gentle exercise starting this Valentine’s
Day. Kashmir’s beginner belly dance class
runs for eight weeks and explores not only
the movement of belly dance but also a
little of the background. You can watch
some of the top belly dancers on video,
begin to get a feel for the music, and get a
glimpse into a different culture all while
learning about how your own body can
move to express the music as a belly dancer.
Belly dance is the dance of celebration
and entertainment in many Middle Eastern
countries. Everyone does it (men, women,
singing and receive six weeks of group
singing lessons for $70. The lessons begin
on Wednesday 1 February at 7pm.
The Chorus was founded in 1985 and
is directed by Virginia Humphrey-Taylor.
There are over 100 members with ages
ranging from 21 years to over 70. Sweet
Adelines is a world-wide organisation
with over 600 choruses singing in the
barbershop style.
All ages and voice ranges are welcome.
The ability to read music is not necessary.

and children). It is kind to the body with
no extreme flexibility required and, unlike
most folkdances, no jumping. It is based
around movement of the torso rather than
footwork.
Although travelling and weight
transitions are required for stage work, as
a beginner you will learn mainly to move
your hips and shoulders (“belly” dance is
a misnomer). Then you can start to put
movements together into phrases, add
“layering” (two or more things at once),
and sharpen your ability to isolate.

Line up for some fun
& learn to line dance
If you like to dance, want a social life
with a friendly bunch of people, then
Line Dancing could be just what you
are looking for. Scientists theorize that
dancing has a triple benefit for the brain,
it increases blood flow, reduces stress
and keeps that vital grey matter in shape.
Dancing also combines physical, mental
and social activity and is a whole lot of
fun too. Laughing is good for you because
it increases our ability to think positively
and we even cater for people who think
they have two left feet. You can have all
these benefits plus meeting new friends by
joining “Cathedral City Line Dancers”.
