| Upcoming Improver Class |
With the advent of Weak 2 Opening Bids, 2♦, 2♥, 2♠, now being taught to Beginners from the 2023/2024 season, as recommended by the CBAI, it means that players who learned bridge prior to this year may wish to learn Weak 2 Opening Bids.
Weak 2 Opening Bids occur frequently, whereas Strong 2 Opening Bids will only occassionly occur.
I am holding an Improver Class on Weak 2 Opening Bids of 2♦, 2♥, and 2♠ on Saturday 20th April 2024 at 10am.
