  Lessons

Saturday Lesson April 20th with Phill Fent, 10.00 till 12.00

Next Saturday, Phill will be covering Losing Trick Count.

Points-shmoints!  - A better way to bid!

In this lesson, Phill will show you how to use the LTC to more accurately evaluate the total trick taking potential of bridge hands, especially in trump contracts.

There are three steps in estimating your trick potential:

  1. Count Your Losers.
  2. Estimate Partner's Losers.
  3. Add these together and deduct the total from 24.

No need to bring a partner, just $20 to learn about this important improvement to evaluate hands.

Tuesday Lesson April 23rd with Mary Elson, 9.30 till 12.00

Next Tuesday, Mary will be covering Entry Management.

How important is it to make sure you can get to dummy or your hand to finesse, trump or play those final winners? Mary would say that it's how you make every contract. So come join us, no need to book in or have a partner, just come along and enjoy.  Table fee is $18.
