Description

Continue learning the best card game ever! Refresh and build up your knowledge of bidding (Standard English Acol system) and improve your play as declarer or defender. This course is for those continuing from Beginners or restarting after a gap.

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 focus is mainly to re-inforce the basic system rather than introducing new topics. 

For more information about course, see tutor’s website www.bridgeclassbristol.co.uk
