Teaching and Learning
SUPERVISED BRIDGE SESSIONS
Wednesday Supervised Play (14:30* – 16:30 * Please arrive by 14:15.) is designed for Improvers and Intermediates who want to build confidence by playing alongside more experienced club players in a relaxed, supportive setting. It’s ideal for those who have attended the club’s classes and are ready to move beyond structured lessons into real gameplay, without focusing on any single aspect of technique.
During each session, participants play a series of hands in a friendly, low-pressure environment. Afterwards, they can compare their results with the contracts achieved by more experienced players, helping them understand different approaches and outcomes. Guidance is available throughout on both bidding and play, and players receive follow-up emails with links to replay the hands at home, along with any briefing materials used during the session, click here to see an example.
While not a formal lesson, Wednesday Supervised Play offers valuable learning through practical experience and discussion.
One pink voucher per session. Pink vouchers cost £6 and are sold in books of five for £30. These books can be bought at supervised play sessions.
