If you understand how to decide WHERE and HOW HIGH and if you can count WINNERS and LOSERS, you know more about Bridge than most people. If you want to play the game well and, perhaps, participate in duplicate bridge games, my intermediate lessons are the next step for you. If you have been playing Bridge in the same way for the past 15 or 20 years, these lessons will modernize your bidding and improve your play.
Tuesday evening, October 28 marks the beginning of a structured series of lessons for the intermediate student. You do not have to attend every week. Each session starts with a review of the bidding taught to date. The printed material is available for sessions that you may have to miss. You can choose the sessions you attend.

8:00 - 10:00 pm.
