Lessons

Intermediate Lesson Tuesday Lesson September 17th with Mary Elson, 9.30 till 12.00

SAME HAND, DIFFERENT AUCTION

Next Tuesday, we are looking at different bids which will occur with the same hand, according to the progress of the auction. Bridge bidding is a complex pattern which alters according to what has happened before. Lots of practice varying your approach to bidding a series of hands with a variety of preceding bids.

Hand play will be a revision of some recent lessons - Balancing etc.

Just $18, no need to book in, just come along and enjoy.

Improvers
