WORKSHOP - FINESSING AND PROMOTING WINNERS

10.15 - 12.15  Thursday 17 July

Cost - 2 Blue Vouchers

If you haven't tried a workshop this year this is your chance! It is suitable for everyone from beginners to club players. Bruce Carrison ran a highly praised workshop this week and he is leading this one. He will be covering promoting winners from losers, when to finesse - or not, the ruffing finesse, the marked finesse, taking note of the bidding and defending the finesse.

There will be plenty of boards to practice what is being taught and time for discussion and questions.
