Bridge newsletters are always a lot of fun.
While many people settle down with a stack of newspapers, social media or a good book, I often choose bridge newsletters and bulletins from around the world.
There’s always an interesting letter, a new take on a bridge concept or something to explore – and every newsletter from every area has its own style, own writers and own take on things.
Here’s a trip around the world in 9 bridge newsletters.
