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. If you would like details of my BEGINNERS TASTER lesson, please complete the contact form below.
Forthcoming dates for the Stoke Lodge courses on Thursday afternoons 1.15 to 3.15 pm:
11 sessions from 27 September 2018 £134 (concession price is £82)
11 sessions from 10 January 2019 £134 (concession price is £82)
8 sessions from 25 April 2019 £98 (concession price is £60)
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.
Booking is via Bristol City Council courses booking system. The September 2018 courses are not yet on their system but I will add links to my site here as soon as they are. 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 Friday mornings 10am to 12 noon
The dates for the 2018-19 year are:
11 sessions from 28 September 2018 £134 (concession price is £82
11 sessions* from 11 January 2019 £134 (concession price is £82)
8 sessions from 26 April 2019 £98 (concession price is £60)
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.
