A modest charge of $50 covers all 10 beginner lessons plus one extra session of just practice play after week 5. This is followed by 3 or 4 weeks of supervised practice sessions to gain confidence and speed to play at our regular sessions.  Each session includes a short break for tea, biscuits plus time to meet and socialize with other attendees.

You will also receive an excellent Booklet: 'Bridge Notes for Beginners'.

Each beginners lesson includes 1 hour of teaching ACOL bidding (5 card majors, weak no trumps, weak 2's) plus 1.5 hours of playing 6 - 8 boards to practice and consolidate what is taught in that lesson.

We use modern teaching methods with Powerpoint slides which are sent to all attendees.

There are not many opportunities to learn bridge in the northern suburbs. We only hold two sets of each of the Beginner, Intermediate and DVD courses each year and places are limited. So Register early.
