The following is the plan from Peter:
Programme of Bridge Lessons for Improvers at EPC for 2024
For the second series of lessons, I propose continuing to deliver one lesson every two or three weeks, aimed at those wishing to refresh their memory of many aspects of the game and revise and develop some key elements.
Each lesson will be ‘stand-alone’ so students can ‘opt in’ as meets their specific needs, and not worry about missing a session or two.
Each session will still cost £8 – ‘Pay as you Go’.
Dates (subject to change) for 2024:-
6.3.24 - A look at a few more basic bidding ‘misunderstandings’
20.3.24 - Slam bidding including ‘Splinter Bids’
3.4.24 - Signals
17.4.24 - Using Fourth Suit Forcing (FSF)
1.5.24 - Penalty doubles - when and what are the requirements.
15.5.24 - When it may be sensible to bend the ‘rules’ on Bidding
29.5.24 – This will be a topic selected by the students after discussion but could include ‘How Vulnerability affects Your Bidding’, Losing Trick Count – (go over basics and look at further refinements), or Cue bids (but I am not keen to do this)
Each lesson will last for about an hour and in addition there will be:-
- preparatory quizzes
- prepared hands
- a provision for ‘questions answered by email’
- comprehensive notes to follow up on each topic
