2024's final series of Beginner Lessons started JULY 3

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 more confidence and speed up your play before attending our regular sessions. All sessions include a short break for coffee or tea with a variety of biscuits, plus time to meet and socialize with other attendees.
You will receive an excellent Booklet: 'Bridge Notes for Beginners', and a book with Homework Exercises as well as a copy of Materials from each Lesson (Weekly)
Each lesson includes theory (broken up in small segments) of the BASIC BIDDING SYSTEM (ACOL with 5 card majors, weak no-trumps, weak 2's). We use worksheet exercises, guided by an experienced helper at each table, to practice bidding. The second half of the lesson is 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.
