Bridge for Beginners - Term 3

<p><span style="font-size:16px">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.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:16px">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.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:16px">Tuition by Professional member of the English Bridge Teachers’ Association</span></p>
