July 15th 9:30 – 12pm Declarer Play Establishing Suits
When planning the play, you will often need to develop tricks from long suits.
Firstly, estimate how many tricks you can establish from a long suit, then consider how likely a suit is going to break.
Phill will show you how to use this information to plan the play as well as talk about other considerations such as entry management on your pathway to success!
Just $18, no need to bring a partner, just turn up with a willingness to learn:)
July 22nd 9:30 – 12pm Defensive Signalling and Discards and what they all mean
When we discard, we have the opportunity to give our partner valuable information about our hand and suit preferences.
There are various defensive signalling systems, each with its own strengths and weaknesses.
As declarer, it's important to recognize that opponents may use different systems— understanding the signals they give can help you just as much as it helps their partner.
Join Phill as he explains these systems with clear instruction, practical examples, and plenty of hands to play.
