| Rugby Village Bridge Club Tuition |
We are very active in tuition for all levels of players.
Teachers and Supervisors
All our lessons are given by qualified or accredited English Bridge Union Teachers Association (EBUTA) members. Practice session helpers are qualified or accredited English Bridge Union Teachers Association (EBUTA) members or else highly experienced players.
Lessons
All our lessons are planned either to unique requirements for private tuition clients, or as part of our courses of lessons, or as individual advanced bridge seminars. Lessons generally include colour printed hand outs, glossaries, quizzes and playing of pre dealt boards designed to exercise the lesson topics.
Our three teaching terms a year start in January, May and September. During each term we run three ten week structured courses and a series of ten advanced bridge lessons which can be taken either as a course, or else as selected sessions.

| Supervised Practice |
We run a weekly, friendly duplicate bridge practice session, suitable for novices with a basic knowledge of bridge, on Wednesday mornings 10:00-12:00 and a session for Improvers on Monday mornings 10:00-12:00 for players with a basic knowledge of ACOL.
There will be boards designed to let you practice a particular topic. You can use notes or books, discuss the hands, or ask for help.
There is a host, so you do not have to bring a partner. The session is scored so that you see the effect of your play on the score. However, because it is an assisted session there are no EBU Master Points to be had and the results do not contribute to your National Grade. The sessions are recorded with the EBU and do attract magazine points.
Both Club Members and Visitors are welcome at these practice sessions.
