Bridge for Beginners
A new Bridge for Beginners course starts every year in September at Stoke Lodge, located in the heart of Stoke Bishop. You do not need any previous knowledge as we start with absolute basics and a gentle pace to suit everyone. You do not need a partner and you don't need any card playing experience.
Forthcoming dates for the Stoke Lodge courses on Thursday mornings 10am to 12 noon:
11 sessions from 26 September 2019 £138 (concession price is £84) Book now
10 sessions from 10 January 2020 £126 (concession price is £76 Book now
9 sessions from 23 April 2020 £114 (concession price is £70) Book now
Each term follows on from the previous term's learning. Late joining is possible for any course if you already have some knowledge. You are welcome to contact me to chat about your level of knowledge before enrolling if you are unsure. There is also a bookable "taster session" one week before the beginners course starts.
Booking is via Bristol City Council's course booking system. The 2019 to 2020 courses have now been added to their system and the links on my site will take you straight to their booking system and secure payment system. Contact me if you have any problems signing up or need to ask anything.
Improvers Bridge
My improvers' class includes many of last year's beginners but newcomers are always welcome. From September we do a complete review of the basic system learnt in year one. This is an opportunity to repeat things and confirm your understanding of topics such as responses to 1 No Trump, Stayman, strong and weak openers, overcalls and doubles. You will learn how to cope with slam bidding and with some more unusual situations. Some play and defence techniques are included to build up your confidence. Lessons include lots of practice card play and discovering new techniques as you play.
Improvers' lessons will be on Thursday afternoons 1.15pm to 3.15pm
The dates for the 2019 -20 year are:
12 sessions from 19 September 2019 £150 (concession price is £90) Book now
10 sessions* from 16 January 2020 £126 (concession price is £76) Book now
9 sessions from 23 April 2020 £114 (concession price is £70) Book now
Each term has an element of continuity but it is easy to join in any term as long as you have played a little before. Contact me if you are not sure.
