Director Training Course

 A message from the secretary

As a Club we need more Directors to help run Bridge sessions.. So, we have set up a training event with Sarah Amos on the weekend of 16/17th November. 

 

The training will be at Swansea Bridge Club 10.30 to 4.00 each day.

 

Introductory material will be emailed to attendees a month prior to the course and they will be expected to work through the material and quizzes so that the course time can be focused on table simulations and answering questions raised. 

 

Cost is £26 payable in advance

 

Lunch is not included (bring your own) but drinks will be available

 

Anyone interested please let me know.

Learn to play Bridge at Swansea Bridge Club

 

Contract Bridge is the most absorbing, challenging, sociable and entertaining card game ever devised.

Now you can learn Bridge from the beginning in a friendly, no-fear environment, with a series of lessons specially designed for those new to the game.

 

Beginners in Bridge - a new course of instruction starting on

Thursday 12th September 2024

7pm – 9pm

and then every Thursday evening at the same time at

Swansea Bridge Club

22 St James Gardens, Uplands, Swansea, SA1 6DY

 

We have run the Beginners in Bridge course very successfully on Wednesday mornings over the 2023-2024season, and now plan to run it on Thursday evenings, 7pm to 9pm, starting 12th September 2024.

 

The lessons are weekly, spanning 26 weeks, with a break over the Christmas and New Year period.  The course starts from the very beginning, and covers basic bidding and card play.  By April, students will have learned what they need to play and enjoy the game, albeit at a novice level.  (There is always much more to learn!)  The sessions take place at the Club premises at 22 St James Gardens, in the first-floor Training Room, equipped with a large-screen TV for videos and PowerPoint presentations.  We can cater for up to 20 students.

 

Interested?  Contact the tutor, Ron Meldon, at

ronaldmeldon@outlook.com

or call him on 07947 504697 for an informal chat.
