This group operates as a course running from Monday 23 October 2023 to March 2024 inclusive.
The group is suitable for members who are complete novices to the game of Bridge or who may have played some time ago and forgotten almost everything of what they once knew.
Bridge is a "whist-like" card game for 4 players operating as two teams/pairs, who sit opposite each other. The game consists of two main parts. Firstly, the bidding - where players compete to decide on a contract where one pair aim to take a specified number of tricks, with a specified suit as trumps (or with no trumps). Secondly, the play - where the pair that won the contract then try to make at least the specified number of tricks.
Starting from the absolute basics the course will cover the main features of Acol (the most commonly used bidding system), and some techniques of card play. Familiarity with “whist-like” card games would be an advantage, but is not essential.
The financial year for the group runs to 31st March 2024, and any surplus is refunded to members in proportion to their number of attendances.
