New To Bridge?
If you are new to bridge, we have some great days to play.
Thursday Afternoon at 1:00 PM is our 299ers. You do not need a partner to play. It is a very relaxed atmosphere, and there is table talk. Come and have fun.

Session times will be from 9:30(ish) to 12:00(ish). Absolute beginners are welcome. Lessons will go throughout the winter and participants will only pay for the sessions they attend.

January Lessons
Wayne Moss is hoping to offer Level 2 lessons beginning in January. They will be offered Tuesday evenings from 7:00 to 9:00 pm starting on Tuesday, January 8th and continuing for approximately 8 weeks. The lessons will review the content from the Level 1 lessons then cover Popular Conventions and Competitive Bidding. Following the lessons, there will be several weeks of optional play. This would involve playing pre-dealt hands with a variety of partners, using the BridgeMates scoring devices, preparing and using a convention card, and learning how to prepare a plan to play a bridge hand. Bridge mentors will be available to help with bidding questions, play of the hand problems and other questions players may have. The cost of these lessons will be $50/person and includes the TWO texts that are used in the lessons.
If you are interested in participating in these lessons, please let Wayne know ASAP so that texts can be ordered in advance. Email: enyaw6677@gmail.com
