Transfer and Stayman Practice 2026

To follow up Stage 2 Lessons there will be practice sessions for Transfers and Stayman in July 2026
You do not need a partner to attend these sessions.
If you have attended previously, and would like to attend again, just change direction and you will be bidding the other hands.
Each session will consist of a short review of the convention, card play where every hand is set up to practice the convention.
Then a review of the results to see if bidding was consistent across tables.
Where there is inconsistency in bidding,  the hands will be bid as a group for reinforcement of the concepts.
