 Every 2nd Monday of the month, the PBC bridge game will have a separate section for 0-199 master point players.  

Bridge Lessons for Newer Players

Chuck Sadowski is teaching daytime bridge lessons on Thursdays at the PBC. The lessons are aimed at newer players who want to LEARN how to become better duplicate bridge players. Are you tired of playing in duplicate games and only scoring 45% (or worse)? These lessons are for you!

-- The session starts with a one hour lesson followed by playing hands that are focused on the lesson. The lessons will be on bidding, declarer play, and defense. There will be homework to do every week before the next lesson.

-- If you really want to learn, you must put in the work to learn...that means homework. Just listening to Chuck teach won't be enough to improve your game. The session should be over by 1:15PM.

-- The charge will be $10 per person per session. There is no book to buy...just come. 

-- If you plan to attend, PLEASE send Chuck an email at ccsadowski1@gmail.com so that he can make enough boards and teaching materials for everyone.
