CONTINUING CLASSES
REF L All Welcome Supervised Play - £5 per session (club members £3:50)
Every Wednesday evening 7:30 - 9:30pm
These sessions are supported by more experienced players and/or teachers, who can be called on during play for help with bidding or cardplay questions. The format is relaxed, with no competitive scoring. Results can be compared with other tables and with club duplicate sessions.
They are a “stepping stone” to moving on to club membership, and participation in DupliCake (Wednesday afternoons) or full Duplicate games.
