To Bid or Not to Bid, That is the Question
Tuesday 18th May, 2pm and Friday 21th May, 2pm
It is based on the weak NT/4 card major system so not suitable for strong NT players*.
This seminar is aimed at all levels.
In principle it will show how a pass can be as effective in a competitive auction.
It will also show when to support with three cards. There will be an introduction to Support Doubles.
£9 pp including free booklet
* there will be a similar seminar on strong NT/5cM soon.
