BRIDGE PRACTICE AND LESSONS

WEDNESDAY MORNING BRIDGE MENTORING 

Supervised practice is offered for beginners and those that want to practice their bidding skills. Playing will continue to take place every Wednesday from 9:15 -11:15 am in the Apache room. You are not obligated to stay the whole time and you can come later than opening time if needed.  Experienced players will be there to help with bidding, answer questions, etc.  It has been a fun group and we are looking to expanding it now that more members are returning.   And remember, any day playing bridge is a good one!  

New Bridge Class offered through Sun City West

Marsha Rayton will be offering a four week "refresher" class on negative doubles, support doubles, New Minor Forcing, Fourth Suit Forcing,  responses to weak twos, and responses to strong 2C bid, and anything else that comes up.   The Classes start April 4 and will run four consecutive Thursdays from 9am to 11am.  The classes will be held in the Ocotillo Room at the Beardsley Rec Center in Sun City West.  The cost for the four lessons is $60 payable in cash or a check made out to the Kiva Bridge Association.  There will be a lesson with handouts and boards to play to focus on the lesson.

Advance sign up is necessary by contacting Marsha Rayton.

Marsha has a degree in education and have been teaching bridge since 2006 with accreditation from the American Contract Bridge League.
