Beginner's classes are aimed at those who have not played Bridge before or may have once learned the rudiments of the game but have not played for sometime. They start in Chippenham on the 18th September. Classes run every week on Thursday mornings between 9.30am to 12.45pm for eleven weeks with a break for half term. At each lesson there will be a break for refreshments. The second half of all lessons involves supervised play of hands designed to illustrate the lesson topic. The classes will be limited to 20 students (5 tables) and subject to a minimum of 8 students. The cost for a term will be £140 + £25 for the course book 'Beginning Bridge'
