The March Beginners weekend, with 10 new faces (well, one returning familiar face and 9 new faces) is now complete, and the teachers have retired to the bar.

Firstly, opportunities for online Practice in Bridge Club Live teaching rooms (with full AV, and hands specially designed to practise what you have already learned):

Click HERE to get to the BCL Homepage; then Choose "Learning Zone"/"Enter Learning Zone".  Access code is 8080.

Currently, I have FOUR (long) teaching "slots":

• Mon Room B, 2pm to 7pm
• Tue Room B, 7pm to 12 midnight
• Fri Room B, 9am to 12 noon
• Sun Room B, 9am to 12 noon

I have also requested Mon evening (and could even get Wed evening, though I wouldn't be there then)

Boards are numbered thus:

• 1-4 are Mini-bridge hands in No Trumps, (Ch 1 of Yellow Book)
• 5-8 are Mini-bridge hands in suit contracts (Ch 2)
• 9-12 are 1NT openers (Ch 3)
• 13-16 are 1 of a suit, raised (as in 1H - 2H etc) (Ch 4)
• 17-20 are Change of suit auctions (Ch 5)
• 21-24 are more of the above (Ch 6)
• 25-28 are 1 of a suit, opener re-bids No Trumps (Ch 7)

Bd 29 is the 10-club hand!
