Participants requested to attend all sessions (non-series)

Come and discover the fun and intellectual challenge associated with contract bridge! In this course, we explore the fundamentals of the game, including bidding, declarer play, and defense. The lessons are based on The Club Series by Audrey Grant, published by the American Contract Bridge League.

Each session will consist of a lecture, several examples, and supervised play. By the end of this eight-session course, the student will have learned enough to play bridge socially, and start exploring the exciting world of duplicate bridge.

There will also be an individual tournament at the end of the course, with prizes for the winners.

Please bring $10 for a book deposit on the first day of class. We will return your $10 at the end of IAP and you get to keep the book.
