MENTORING
Mark your calendars for Thursday June 15 at 9:30 am.
RESPONDING TO PARTNER’S WEAK 2 OPENING BID.
Your partner opened the auction 2D, 2H or 2S. How weak is partner’s hand? How many tricks can your side take? Should you just pass and play it there? Or investigate further? June Mentoring explores how to respond with a strong hand: Feature asking bid, Ogust or something else?
Gary Waldron will show you how to assess your hand to find the right landing spot. Volunteer mentors will be on hand as you practice the lesson at the tables. Fee $10.
Please sign up IN ADVANCE so we can plan ahead – Maggie maggiebrisk@cox.net
* Mentoring is held monthly usually on the 3rd Thursday *
Mark your calendar to attend them all!
All welcome from Advancing Beginners to Advanced Advanced!

Learning to Love NO TRUMP
June 21 and June 28 ~ 9:30 am with Gary Waldron.
Gary will be offering 2 classes each month. June will focus on No Trump Interference.
Just because the opponent opens 1 No Trump doesn’t prevent you from competing. Learn how to decide whether you should compete. Explore different conventions that will make life easier for you and your partner and harder for the opponents.
This class is suitable for players at any skill level.
$15 per class, pay as you go.
