  Improver Training Sessions

There are to be improver training sessions most Mondays that anyone can join. They will be run by me (John Farmer), starting at 18.05 in the room next to the one we play in and finishing at 18.50 prompt so people can join the normal evening session.

The topics to be covered will be available here on the website so that individuals can decide if they wish to attend.  It will prove much more productive if partnerships attend, though individuals are welcome.

Whilst the list below is open to discussion / agreement,  as a starter, my suggested subjects will be:

  • Monday 28th September - Developing stayman and puppet stayman.
  • 5th October - Teams versus pairs bidding and play. Overcalls
  • 12th October - No seminar.
  • 19th and 26th October - We will aim to cover wider aspects of overcalls and the various responses .
  • 5th November - Doubling (penalties / takeout / support)

That will leave items such as dealing with one no trump doubled, leads and discards and signals for later sessions.

Any additional items welcomed.
