Beginner's Bridge Basics 1

This is a series of 8 lessons designed to teach absolute beginners the fundamentals of the game of bridge. The only prerequisite for this series is an interest in learning about this fascinating game. The first evening, students are introduced to the mechanics of the game in a hands-on format.

Each session lasts about 2 hours and consists of a short, formal lesson and is accompanied by one or more handouts, allowing students the opportunity to follow along and/or make their own notes as the lesson unfolds.

Following the formal lesson  portion, the class is guided through a series of prearranged hands designed to reinforce, explain and illustrate the essential points raised during the formal lesson.

A text book is included in the cost of the course.

Our next series is scheduled to begin soon. Why not make the decision to invest in something that really can change your life?
