You are booking for the Declarer Play - Building on the Foundations 3-week Course, led by Luiz Lima.  Sessions will be held at the Clubhouse on Tuesdays at 10:30am starting on 22nd September and ending on 6th October.  Each session is about 2 hours.

This mini-course is designed for players who have completed at least terms 1 and 2 of the Beginner’s Course and would like to strengthen their Declarer play. It is particularly suitable for those attending Supervised Play and Supervised Duplicate sessions.  There is no need to have a partner - but of course please feel free to invite someone along as your partner if you wish to build your partnership understanding together.

Each session costs £20, with the full course costing £60.  Don't worry if you can't attend any one week.

All sessions are highly practical and based on pre-dealt, prepared hands played in class. The course will cover the following topics:

Week 1 – Finesses in Practice

  • Simple, double, two-way, and ruffing finesses
  • When not to finesse 

Week 2 – Communication and Timing

  • Hold-up play variations
  • Entry management
  • Timing the play of the hand 

Week 3 – Managing Trumps as Declarer
