| 2020 Educational Class Schedule |
All classes temporarily cancelled until further notice because of virus concerns. The upcoming class schedule for the Tuesday morning educational classes at the O’Dell recreation center is now available. To view the schedule for classes that are being presented for intermediate players between now and the end of May 2020, please go to the Education menu link to the left and click on 2002 Winter Spring Class Schedule - issue Mar 4 2020 .
Note that we highly recommend two things if you are considering attending any of these Sessions.
First of all, the maximum benefit will be obtained if you attend with a partner. Bridge is NOT a solo game and it is essential that wherever possible both you and a playing partner learn together.
Secondly, we are building in this year what we regard as a most valued aspect to all we are trying to teach. That is, for every topic, there will be a following Workshop where what you are taught will be re-visited, worked with, and made more clear in context. We strongly urge you to consider that both the class and the workshop should be regarded as one and that whenever possible you do your very best to attend both.
