Course appraisal and revision |
This is a structured course using proven material from the English Bridge Union. The sessions will be at 2pm on Mondays in our Club Room on Moor Lane and will last for just over 2 hours. Each week there will be a period of instruction and discussion followed by the play of specially prepared hands. These are individual lessons progressing along a common theme so there is no problem if you wish to join part way through the course and/or miss a week or two.
The lessons are intended for players at all levels and will hopefully be of benefit to everybody. We would especially welcome any existing club members who would like to improve their game.
Each lesson will be charged at £4 (£5 to non-members who are most welcome) and will include written course material with limited free refreshments.
