This is a fun, stimulating and very interactive course, specially designed to give you a solid foundation of basic bridge in the least amount of time.

After just six lessons you'll be able to play bridge in my supervised sessions. This is where the real learning happens, as you get to practice your new skills in a supportive and pressure-free setting.

You can learn with a partner, or come solo and we'll match you up with someone - playing bridge is a great way to meet new people and make lifelong friends!

BEGINNERS' PROGRESSION/SUPERVISED PLAY

Supervised play for Beginners/Novices
Every Monday morning, commencing 23rd March 2026: 8.45am-11.45am

Following on from the six-week Let's Learn Bridge Beginners' Course, I am running weekly supervised play sessions, combined with ongoing education. I'll be covering a wide range of topics including scoring, weak and strong bidding, opening no trumps, declarer card play and defence. Don't worry - I won't overload you with more and more complexity! The lessons are short, introduced very gradually, and designed to build on your knowledge as you become more comfortable and familiar with the basics.

Playing in supervised sessions will help you become a more confident and competent player. You can refer to your notes, and I have a wonderful team of helpers to support and spur you on.

In a short while you will be ready to play in our Novice sessions and participate in the special club events for new players. Lots of fun times ahead!

All newbies are welcome and you can come with or without a partner.

Important: To enable us to run smoothly, please arrive and be seated by 8.30am.

Cost is normal game fee: $7 members/ $9 non-members.
