BRIDGE LESSONS / SUPERVISED SESSIONS

NEXT Series of Beginner Lessons: February 2024

MONDAY EVENING from 7 - 10pm.

Volunteer Helpers are required - use SIGNUP to register.

A modest up front charge of $60 covers all 9 beginner lessons. This is followed by several weeks of supervised practice sessions ($4 ea) to gain confidence and speed up your play b4 attending our regular sessions. Each session includes a short break for tea, biscuits plus time to meet and socialize with other attendees.

You will receive an excellent Booklet: 'Bridge Notes for Beginners', a Book of Homework Exercises as well as a copy of Materials from each Lesson (Weekly)

Each lesson includes theory (broken up in small segments) of a BASIC BIDDING SYSTEM (ACOL with 5 card majors, weak no trumps, weak 2's). We then use worksheet exercises, guided by an experienced helper at each table, to practice bidding and play of up to 8 boards to consolidate what is taught in that lesson.

A copy of each Lessons Powerpoint slides, worksheet exercises, answers and practice hands are sent to all attendees each week.

You must commit to ATTEND ALL LESSONS, REVISE ALL MATERIAL thoroughly WEEKLY and DO the HOMEWORK EXERCISES to gain maximum benefit from the lessons.

It takes time and effort, perseverance and practice to become a good bridge player and is not for the faint hearted. It is not Kitchen Bridge!

There are not many opportunities to learn bridge in the northern suburbs. We only hold 2 series of the Beginner Lessons each year. Places are limited! So you need to Register early.

Register via the SIGNUP box on this website.

If you have never logged onto Pianola you need to contact the club and ask to send you an Invite, then open it and follow the prompts.

ASK ATTENDEES at any session you attend or PHONE preferred / potential JBC members DIRECT if you have their number. Some members display their contact details in Pianola, SOME DON'T. If they don't, ASK A MEMBER to contact them to PASS their contact details on to you.

Attend some of the newbie supervised sessions, beginner lessons or Gala sessions as a helper and get to know some newbies and pick up a potential partner to mentor.

Put your name on the Need a Partner sheet on the notice board, or get someone to do it for you.

You can also check the notice board to see if anybody needs a partner for when you want to play.
