Bridge
A major change for the bridge group this year is that we will be operating through U3A Online Across Scotland and any member of any Scottish U3A may join us. In fact, many people from across Scotland have parlayed with us in recent years but now they do not need to join Inverness and Black Isle U3a if they are already a member of a U3A.
All members interested will be given an introduction to the technologies we use before start of courses so please express interest well in advance. New members are welcome and should contact Ann Wickens. Existing members just need to confirm they need to continue.
We have our own website which has all the resources - lesson notes recordings and quizzes but those are only available on our members only area. The site also has results of Play and learn each week and members may replay the hands on the site and see what others did with the same cards. https://www.bridgewebs.com/u3aoasbridgegroup/
U3A Bridge classes will start on Fri 29th Sept 2023
Please contact Karyn via our website when you wish to join. Members are asked to pay £24 per year to pay for the use of the bridge platforms on which we play. Prospective members may play twice before they pay to ensure it suits them. Please register interest in time to start on 29th Sept even if you will be away then.
Beginners / Refreshers will run online at 9.45 on Fridays with Refreshers coming in at approx. lesson 5 on 28th Oct. Refreshers may play in the Play and Learn until then.
Play and Learn classes will run online at 10.30 on Fridays. These will include some new material on etiquette, bridge intangibles, defence and bidding with some new PowerPoint presentations and revisits of last year’s Play and Learn
material.
