About This Class

If you have completed our Beginners Class, or you already know the rudiments of bridge, this is the class for you! The twenty lessons will take you to the 'next level' of your bridge-playing career, sharpening the skills you have already learned, and adding important and valuable new techniques to your bidding and play.

In each lesson, after a presentation by the teacher and a quiz to test your understanding, you will play some practice hands of bridge based on the lesson content. At the end of each lesson, you will receive your own set of notes to keep and study.

If you have any questions or would like further details, please send an e-mail to our Education Convener at classes@carltonbridgecentre.org.uk.
