Improvers

Tuesday sessions are aimed at easing our students into full Club play. As such, Improvers are "cut some slack". They cannot converse during bidding nor play but they are encouraged to discuss hands afterwards with everyone at the table. Mistakes are made and play is a little slower than usual. Please make allowances and enjoy the bridge.
