Feedback on PCBC Bridge Lessons


"I thoroughly enjoyed this evening’s bridge taster session and would like to sign up for the full course. Please can you send me an invoice and I will settle forthwith."


"Hope the course will be as good as the last. Chrys is a brilliant teacher."

"We have thoroughly enjoyed our “Beginners Plus” Lessons with Chrys Poole and look forward to another 10 week series next year."

"I really enjoyed the Beginners Plus course. Chrys is an excellent teacher - very clear presentations at the right level of detail, good handouts and homework, and encouraging and helpful support when we are practising playing. I think it was more difficult for me at first as I had done a beginners course elsewhere so was the only new member of the group, but I was made very welcome."

"As a lapsed player from approx 40 years ago, I did find the early lessons quite slow, but very methodical for true beginners.  Sadly when we got on to the more interesting lessons on bidding, I was unable to attend, although Chrys has sent me the notes to catch up prior to the second term.  I enjoyed the lessons I did get to and I'm looking forward to the next round - and to joining some of the improvers sessions."
