| Beginners Lessons |
Starting at the beginning of October, we will be running beginners lessons at the Deva Bridge Club on Thursday afternoons (starting at 1.15 pm) and on Tuesday evenings at 7pm. Each lesson is £6 per person (cashless, pay on arrival) which includes teaching, handouts, playing practice hands with advice from the teacher/helpers and a break for tea/coffee and biscuits. Please ensure that you arrive in time to park, pay and get seated before the lesson starts.
We also run an email mailing list which can be very helpful for homework, reminders etc. and for pupils to ask us questions.
The programme of beginners lessons is in stages to help pupils progress from knowing nothing about bridge to being able to play a competent but basic game. This staged approach is also helpful for people who need to refresh themselves on some parts of the basics of bidding and play. The stages are:
- Minibridge
- Opening bids and basic declarer play
- Responses and rebids
- Competitive auctions and
- Strong hands, conventions and pre-empts.
Don't worry if these terms don't mean anything to you at this stage - just come along and enjoy!
Our beginners programmes start on Tuesday 29th September for evenings and Thursday 1st October for afternoons and run through (with breaks for Christmas and Easter) to the end of April. Please don't worry if you have missed the first lesson or two or are going to be away. We will be happy to help you catch up.

| Improvers Lessons |
The improvers lessons are similar in format to the beginners lessons but take place at 10 am on Thursdays or 7 pm on Wednesdays.
We run a rolling programme of improvers lessons over two years so you can drop in or out as it suits your needs. Once again we will be happy to help you catch up if you miss any lessons.
For more information please email: lessons@devabridgeclub.co.uk.

| Practice, practice, practice! |
We also run programmes of social tournaments and supervised play:
Every Monday afternoon (1-4 pm) we run a "Monday improvers" tournament with an option to just practice without participating in the tournament.
Philip also runs a "Social Bridge" session from 7-9 pm every Friday.
Finally, once the programme of lessons has finished, we run pupil tournaments (including a mini-lesson) on Thursday afternoons (1.15-4 pm) through May, June and July.
Please check the calendar to ensure that the session you want to attend is being held.
