| RICHMOND BRIDGE ACADEMY |
"Whilst I am emailing can I just say how fantastic the teachers are. I have done quite a few Refresh and Practice and the odd Supervised Play. Sessions have been led by Richard or Marianne and support given by Titch and I have to say you do have the best . "Outstanding, " if this was an OFSTED report.
I also think Refresh and Practice is a brilliant concept and I don't know of anywhere else that does it. It is also very well organized with really clear, comprehensive instructions sent out in advance" ('P', an RBC member).

| SUPERVISED REFRESH AND PRACTICE |
 This is a Supervised session at 10:30 am on Tuesday mornings called ‘Refresh and Practice’. Led by our excellent teachers, it is aimed at refreshing your knowledge on a particular topic that you may find tricky or on which you may like to refresh your memory.
11 May: Bidding after an overcall (Margaret)
18 May: Bending the Rules when Responding in a Suit (Marianne)
25 May: Leading through strength into weakness (Tim)
This is not a lesson or seminar. Before each session, you will receive notes and the 'Refresh and Practice' session will start with five minutes of Q&A (Questions and Answers) on the topic. This will then be followed by the bidding and play of 12 specially prepared hands for you to practice. You do not need a partner.
These sessions will require registration: Please click the appropriate session to book by 4 pm on the day before the session.
