House of Cards is a day-time bridge club<br />

situated in Merivale. Our philosophy is to<br />

provide a friendly, family-type environment<br />

for bridge players.<br />

Bridge is not only a wonderful, stimulating<br />

game, it is also splendidly social. We have<br />

had much pleasure in seeing many new<br />

friendships flourish over the years.<br />

House of Cards is especially renowned<br />

for its teaching and we have taught literally<br />

thousands of beginners as well as improvers,<br />

in Christchurch and around New Zealand.<br />

We have run several national teachers’<br />

conferences and have been instrumental<br />

in creating a national standard for bridge<br />

teachers.<br />

We have also written a whole series of<br />

bridge books for new and improving players<br />

which are widely used in New Zealand,<br />

Australia and the United Kingdom.<br />

We are a friendly, enthusiastic team<br />

who welcome new players. We have four<br />

sessions dedicated especially for the novice<br />

player, so you needn’t feel nervous!<br />

We will also introduce you to<br />

SkyBridgeClub. This is an online club<br />

catering for the improving player, where<br />

you can practice online during your course.<br />

It’s a great way to learn.<br />

Come in and see us. We’d love to meet you.<br />

learn to Line Dance<br />

The dance floor – a place where bills<br />

and responsibility don’t exist, where<br />

stress is gone and nothing matters but the<br />

music. The dance floor is freedom, say the<br />

Cathedral City Line Dancers.<br />

A recent German study tested people<br />

who tried different forms of exercise and<br />

then measured their hippocampuses<br />

(the memory centre of their brains) and<br />

those who did Line Dancing were better<br />

protected from dementia and memory loss.<br />

So, if you like to dance, want a social life<br />

with a friendly bunch of people and a lot<br />

of laughs while exercising your brain, then<br />

Line Dancing could be just what you are<br />

looking for. They even cater for people with<br />

two left feet.<br />

You can have all this, plus meet new<br />

friends by joining Cathedral City Line<br />

Dancers and learning to dance with Mary.<br />

You will quickly appreciate the added luxury that a Heritage Health Club membership brings with access to an indoor<br />

Aikido is an effective self defence art<br />

of the most senior instructors training in<br />
