Lessons for the Advancing Bridge Player

♠   ♣ 

OCTOBER CLASS SCHEDULE

♠   ♣ 

Thursdays, 9:00am- 11:15am

"Bridge Basics II""

    This is the "next" Audrey Grant Class after Bridge Basics I.    Learn the current and common conventions that will help you to become a more complete player.   Barbara Driscoll returns from here summertime break to begin lessons again!   

Thursdays, 9:00am- 11:15am

"Principles of Declarer Play"

     After the bidding is over, it's time to take your tricks!  Jackie Altschuler will teach the essential basics of declarer play.  Suit establishment, card combinations, when to draw trump and when to wait, and other techniques that every player needs to know in order to take the tricks they deserve!

Saturdays, 9:00am- 11:15am

"Bridge Basics I"

     Barbara Driscoll teaches the famous Audrey Grant course.   Learn the fabulous game of bridge, and play right away!   This class is for the player who knows NOTHING aabout bridge and for the player who may have played a little bridge with friends.  (Or played a long time ago, but we won't tell anyone!).   This is our most popular class by far.

Saturdays, 9am- 11:15am

"Defense for the Avancing Player"

     Jackie Altschuler has a class meant for the "advancing" player -- this is a thinking person's class on the most important aspect of bridge -- DEFENSE.   Defensive techniques and thought processes are what makes the difference between mostly average results and the true consistency of the better players.  Remember, you will defend TWO hands for every ONE hand that you play as declarer!

Wednesdays, 4:30 - 6:15

"All about Notrump"

     Yes, Jack is going to teach, also.   His "Notrump" series is for players of ALL levels.  Each class stands alone, and will contains useful information that will improve the skill of all those involved.   It will include the ACBL's new rules for notrump openings, and when to use them to your best advantage.   There is more to Notrump bidding than just knowing basic Stayman, Transfers, and 15-17! 

((All classes are $15 for members, $17 for non-members.  No need to register; just show up!))

  LARRY COHEN TEACHES DEFENSE ON NOVEMBER 3rd!!

It isn't too late to send in your registration to attend Larry Cohen's special seminar on Thursday, November 3rd!   Larry, one of America's best-known teachers and authors, will be teaching DEFENSE to our advancing bridge players.  Everyone likes to learn bidding, and declarer play is fun, but DEFENSE is the most important part of the game!  You will defend half of the hands in every session --  doesn't that sound important to you?

WE HAVE A FACEBOOK PAGE! CLICK HERE TO OPEN IT!

Our facebook page is new, and there isn't much on it yet.

I will use it for news and occasional announcements.  We can also use it to discuss interesting hands and bidding, and anything else bridge related.  We will NOT use it for political discussions, gossip, etc.  :-)   I think everyone understands why.  

I would especially love it if some of you can post some pictures and bridge news on the site.

If you want to use the facebook page to ask about a hand, I will try to answer as often as time permits.  Perhaps some of out other experienced players will help out, as well.

Jack
