Description

Begin learning the best card game for four players. A game of planning, strategy and tactics but also lots of fun, which is played socially and in bridge clubs. This course is for complete beginners with no prior knowledge.

What can students expect?

Bridge is a game for two partnerships at each table, but you do not need a partner to join the class. In class you will learn through demonstration by the tutor, quiz / exercises and practice cardplay. You will play with other class members at your table, so some turn taking may be needed. The course includes free online material including tutor’s video lessons.

Tuition by Professional member of the English Bridge Teachers’ Association

For more information about learning bridge, see Lorna Watson’s website www.bridgeclassbristol.co.uk

Late starters allowed?

It is possible to join late but you may need either a little prior experience or be prepared to do some catch up work from the recommended text book or online material. Each term continues from the previous term, so if you want to join late, you will need to be at a similar stage to the rest of the class. Please contact the tutor if you need more information bridgeclassbristol@gmail.com
