| Lessons for Newcomers to Bridge |
2 separate series of lessons for newcomers to bridge will commence soon:
Thursdays 10 am -11:30am, starting Thursday 13 Feb.
Fridays 10am - 11:30am, starting Friday 28 Feb.
Hosted by Max and Kathy Gilbert. Contact Max (0412 187 085) for details or to enrol.
In both cases, lessons will run over 6 weeks, and be held at Oatley RSL, 23 Letitia St, Oatley.
The lessons are free (but we expect participants to buy a cup of coffee or cake etc). Notes are provided. We play sample hands.
No prior experience is necessary. Come with or without a partner.
After lessons, we run "supervised" sessions on Wednesdays - so you can keep playing in a relaxed and supportive context.
Even if you have done some lessons previously, you can come along - it may help you find a regular partner, and understand the basic bidding system used at our club.
