Beginning Bridge Lessons in Plano are underway on Tuesday afternoons at Val's house in Plano. We are using Audrey Grant's Basic Bridge Series.  Each lesson is two hours with lots of opportunities to play the cards.  We are continuing Audrey Grant's Bridge Basics 2 - Competitive Bidding - preempts, overcalls, takeout doubles and other competitive auctions. This week is on competitive auctions.  It's not too late to join us.

We now have a THURSDAY evening class at King of Glory from 6:30-8:30pm.  This will continue with Audrey Grant's Bridge Basics 1 on 5/1 with No trump bidding and responses, 5/8 with Majors, 5/15 with Minors, and 5/22 with a structured play session covering 1 level bidding.  Have a friend that would like to learn? Encourage them to come this Thursday evening and start their bridge journey.
