| Josh's 'All Things No-Trump' Mini Course |
♠ ♥ ♦ ♣

Hi there, Josh here and I'm very excited to announce my upcoming short (but sweet!) course 'All Things No-Trump!'
During the course we'll be looking at bidding no-trump contracts with more accuracy, dealing with interference, techniques when declaring no-trumps, dealing with pitfalls, and successfully defending no-trump contracts as well. All wrapped up in a mini 5-week package!
The course will run on Fridays between the 22nd May and the 19th June, starting at 1:45pm and finishing at 4pm each session at Nowton Court.
Details & Sign Up
We start with topic of the week, I will give examples, and then go through 8 boards with analysis of the bidding and play of each. Come along with a partner if you wish but you are more than welcome to attend by yourself and we'll find you a weekly match.
The cost of the course is £50 per person including all the course materials. If there is a session or two you can't attend, catch up sessions can be arranged separately from the main sessions at no extra cost, just get in touch to arrange them.
Refreshments and biscuits will be provided for each session.
♠ ♥ ♦ ♣
To register for the course please follow this LINK. I look forward to seeing many of you there!
