0-200 Lesson & Game
The Friday morning lessons and games are intended for players who have completed beginning bridge lessons, are coming back to the game, or for those players who would like a refresher. During the summer, we skip the lesson and just play. The game begins at 9:00 AM SHARP! $10 card fee for a great game with wonderful people and good snacks!
Due to the holiday schedule, there’ll be opportunity to play a bit more and hone your bridge skills, plus a chance to earn GOLD points at the club!
Topics:
- December 27: Game only. Lessons will resume in January.
Trudi and I are both very open to suggestions from you as to what to teach. This is your class and your game. Please let us hear from you if there is something specific you’d like us to present.
No partner needed. We guarantee you will play. This is a very fun and friendly group. The more you play, the more comfortable you will become with the bidding and the play of the hand.

MENTORED PLAY FOR OUR NEWEST BEGINNERS
0-20 Supervised Play
Wednesdays at 12:30 PM with volunteer mentors
Fee: $10
No partner required.
Prior registration is not required.
If you are a beginner in the 0-20 master point range, come join us to get quality practice time with mentors on hand to help and answer your questions. If you are already attending Tuesday mornings and/or Friday mornings, add another time slot and get more play time! This is a fun-filled no-stress place to practice!
We award Masterpoints, so please arrive with time to spare and stay to play for 12 to 15 boards which can run until approximately 3:15 – 4 PM. Late arrival makes it challenging for us to arrange the table movement and partnerships, so try to be there with time to spare. This is a learning game where you can practice with volunteer mentors at the tables. Masterpoints are awarded to the top scorers.
Note: Cancelled on December 25 & January 1
