  • Badgering, rudeness, insinuations, intimidation, profanity, threats, or violence
  • Negative comments concerning opponents' or partner's play or bidding.
  • Constant and gratuitous lessons and analyses at the table.

Beginning Bridge Lessons

This class is for people brand new to the game of Bridge, or those who played a long time ago and wish to refresh their skills. It follows the Audrey Grant "Bidding in the 21st Century - Club Series" book, however it includes sample hands for you to play to enforce the concepts and get up to speed quickly.

Play of the Hand

Once the bidding is over and a Contact has been established, it's time to MAKE YOUR PLAN !  This class focuses on how to make that contract, how to promote winners, toss losers and improve your odds of getting the best score possible. Once again, the class will be structured with 50% lecture, and 50% play so that you can practice making plans, playing hands and ask questions
