Bridge Class for Beginners and Improvers

Wednesday mornings 10.00am - 12.00pm

This class has been running successfully at the club since October and students have made great progress. Most of the students started as complete beginners. They are now bidding, playing and scoring contracts (with a little help when required) and have begun to play duplicate sessions.

It is too late this year for complete beginners to join the class, but it would be appropriate for improvers, those with some experience of the game or anyone who wants to brush up on aspects of bidding or fill in gaps in their knowledge. The sessions, which run from 10am - 12.00 every Wednesday, comprise a presentation, followed by play of set hands with assistance as required and comprehensive notes. The cost is £5.00 per lesson - including coffee and chocolate biscuits!

Our next topic which will run for the next 4 weeks is:

Strong Opening hands and Slam Bidding.

Anyone who'd like to join us is welcome on a regular or occasional basis. We aim to make the sessions fun, friendly and supportive so you need not feel nervous or anxious. If you'd like to come just turn up at around 9.50 for a 10.00am start; you are welcome with or without a partner.

Monthly Bridge Seminars

Thursday, 25th April

Once a month on a Thursday morning, we will be offering instruction on a variety of topics, incorporating play of set hands.

The sessions, which will comprise a presentation, accompanied by comprehensive notes and play of set hands relevant to the topic, are particularly relevant to beginners, improvers and those who have gaps in their knowledge or would like to expand their repertoire of conventions. However, the sessions will be open to all Club members and prospective members.

The first topic, which will be presented on Thursday, 25th April is:

Weak Opening Bids at the Two Level

The time of the session is 10am - 12.00pm

The cost is £5.00 (including coffee and biscuits). To be assured of a place, book by putting your name on the sheet in the club or just turn up on the day. Pay on the day.

The classes and seminars will be taken by Colin Darling, who is a fully qualified Bridge teacher of 25 years experience, an EBU Director and a full member of the English Bridge Teachers Association.
