Thursday Evenings

6:30 to 8:30 P.M.

The purpose of this class is to help each player STEP UP to a higher level of playing bridge. It includes playing of the hand, defensive strategies, counting techniques and other processes to increase our knowledge of this game and our ability to play and compete. 

This class in geared for NOVICE and INTERMEDIATE PLAYERS that want to improve their game and step up to a higher level. The basics will be reviewed, conventions will be added, play of the hand and defensive strategies will be discussed. The hands you bid, play and discuss each week  will be  directly related to that week’s lesson.   Everyone will be given a notebook at the first class they attend. Everyone will receive  a handout each week for that week’s lesson. This is all included in the $10 charge. The class will be on Thursday nights from 6:30 to 8:30 P.M. at the Charlotte Bridge Club.
