Refresh and Progress

 

Refresh and Progress

This is a ten-week course for those who have attended classes previously and want to improve their bidding.

Formal teaching will be kept to a minimum. The sessions will start with a short orientation quiz and will then concentrate on bidding and discussion of set hands.

(NB This course is not suitable as an introduction to Bridge or for those who have been away from the game for a long time.
Consider the 1-year Foundation course instead)
