Ten Weeks to Basic Bridge: Lesson Series Starts January 3, 2018

A new series of beginner lessons starts Wednesday, January 3, 2018 and meets 10 times through March 21, 2018. You’ll learn Bridge from the ground up with Standard American bidding.  By the end of the series, you’ll be ready to play in social games and entry-level duplicate games.

What’s all this?

We’re announcing a series of lessons for beginning Bridge players: “Ten Weeks to Basic Bridge” beginning January 3, 2018. This series will be led by David Dailey, a relative newcomer to Bridge who understands the challenges encountered by new players.

You’ll learn Bridge from the ground up using Standard American bidding. This fast-paced series is ideal for those with no cardplaying experience, as well as for players who want to get back into the game using modern methods. When you complete this series, you will be ready to play Bridge in social games as well as in introductory Duplicate games. Seattle Bridge Center offers a Rookie Duplicate game on Tuesday evenings.

You can take the lessons by yourself or with a partner. You’ll meet several new players along the way.

How much?

Lesson fees are collected on a pay-as-you-go basis. You can stop or return at any time.
– $10 per person per week

  1. I’d like to sign my partner and I up. I know the basics and he has never played but I would like to do it together and I can always learn more.
