TEACHING SESSIONS - INTERMEDIATE CLASSES (Level 3)

This course will run for 13 consecutive weeks from Friday 25th September 2026 to Friday
18th December 2026 between 10.15 am and 12.15 pm with a ten minute tea break.
It is intended for players who have been playing for a few years and want to add some finesse to their bidding and play.
The objective will be to improve your bidding armoury by including more conventions as well as a revision of Acol bidding sequences. Players will be introduced to 5 card majors ( which a lot of experienced players prefer to Acol). There will also be lots of work on card play including tips about bridge ploys which you may not find given much exposure in books.
Each session will begin with a presentation during which you will be welcome to ask
questions. There will then be supervised practice play related to the subject of the talk.
The cost of the course is £130 payable in advance of the first session.

TEACHING SESSIONS - FAST TRACK COURSE FOR BEGINNERS (Level 1)

The course aims to take you to a basic standard of bridge in just 10 lessons. Short self-study exercises (in both digital and printed format) will be provided for use at home to aid the learning in lessons. The teaching is mainly practically based with card-based exercises, interspersed with short expositions. Individual guidance during the lesson will be given. The Fast Track course is designed for people who are not able to attend a weekday daytime course and wish to have a shorter course, or for those who have some previous knowledge of bridge. This shorter course is achieved by having a faster pace and making available some self study materials to use between lessons.

Cost: £100 for 10 lessons (an optional two further revision lessons will be available). Full time students pay £50. Handouts and links to digital resources will be made available, so a course book is optional.

10 lessons on Saturday morning 10.00 – 12.30 . Next course starts  January 2027.
