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 />

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 />
