This takes place in Brighton from the 17th to the 19th August this year at the Hilton Metropole Brighton.
What will be happening? Well not surprisingly, mainly bridge.
We aim at three groups but this depends on the people attending:
a) Those with three to five years experience,
System – weak or strong NT, Stayman, Blackwood including key-card, Weak 2’s or Benji and Transfers – the exception is Multi-2♦ which is not allowed
b) 18 months to three years. Standard English with Stayman
System – Weak NT, Stayman, Blackwood, Weak 2’s and Transfers
c) Those who have been learning for 18 months or less.
System – Weak NT, Stayman and Blackwood – Don’t worry if you haven’t met Stayman or Blackwood yet.
These are general guide lines only and there will be some cross over between the sections.
We start on the Monday afternoon, 2.30 – 4.00p,m with a lesson with our guest teachers this year, Phil Green and Diana King. Monday evening the bridge starts for real with a pairs’ session at 7.30.
Tuesday morning kicks off with a workshop/lecture at 10.30-12pm with Andrew Kambites. Pairs in the afternoon at 2pm and teams at 7.30pm.
On our last day Wednesday, 10.30 – 3.30 with a lunch break, we play Swiss Pairs. 5 x 5-board matches.
There’s so much more to do in Brighton that it’s worth coming a day early or going home a day late. Visit the tourist website and check out the restaurants, shows and other amusements in August. - http://tourism.brighton.co.uk/
While you are learning new skills every time you play, you are exercising your thought process and increasing your brain power. The bigger the challenge the greater the satisfaction when you succeed. Bridge is one of the few games where you have the opportunity of playing against top players. The fascination is that you still might get a top! So don’t be afraid of having to play against someone who is better than you. Get out there and improve your game.
Learning to play bridge is so much more than just counting to 13.
