Learn to Play Bridge

Our beginner lessons resume on Monday October 7 at 6:30 - 8:15pm.  The series is Play of the Hand in the 21st Century,  part of the ACBL series.  An accompanying book is available on Amazon here.  Each lesson will focus on a chapter of the book.  These lessons will be suitable for those of you who are brand new to the game and those of you who have played some bridge.  You don’t need to come with a partner and you don’t need to sign up ahead of time. The lessons are $10 for members and $13 for non-members.   

If you have any questions about lessons, please contact Bobby Glenn at rsglennjr@gmail.com or 912 441-3358.
