Bridge is a partnership game requiring four players and is the most exciting of card games. This course is designed
to introduce students to the world of playing bridge and can be treated as a stand-alone taster or a stepping stone
on to a longer bridge course. During the day you will learn the first principles of playing this rewarding and sociable game.

About this course

* Define bridge terms such as ‘declarer’, ‘dummy’ and ‘making tricks’.
* Recognise hands that are suitable to play in a trump suit or no trumps.

You need only bring notepad and pen.

This is very much a ‘hands on’ course where you will be playing cards immediately. In addition, there will be
worksheets and quizzes to help consolidate learning. You do not need to do anything outside the class but you will
be encouraged to do so. A link to download a bridge programme enabling you to play on a PC at home will be provided.

Reviews

Course programme

Bridge is a game of two parts: the bidding and the play. You will be introduced to minibridge, the nationally-recognised stepping stone to learning bridge. From the outset, you will be playing cards and will learn how to choose and play a ‘contract’. This ‘taster’ will provide good grounding in understanding the principles that underpin the bidding system which is unique to the game of bridge.
