The Club has classes for Beginners with
one session on a Wednesday afternoon and the
other on Friday evening. You need absolutely NO previous
experience to come on these and you don't have
to have a partner. To book your place on
Wednesday afternoons or Friday evenings simply email
Pat Murphy at
tonymurfia@tiscali.co.uk . The next courses
will start on September 10th and 12th 2008 but you can enrol for
them right now to ensure that you have a place. Clifton
have around a dozen EBU (English Bridge Union)
trained Partner/Teachers who will be delivering the
courses using the recommended "Bridge For All"
programme. The first lesson is
FREE but at the second lesson, which is also
FREE, each student will be asked to buy the EBU
"Beginning Bridge" book which will be of
enormous help in consolidating what you have
learned at the classes, and will give you all
the basics of how to become a good Bridge
player....it costs just £10 and with it comes a
year's FREE membership of the EBU and free
copies of their Student magazine! At the third
lesson you should be convinced of what a
wonderful experience a game of bridge is and you
will be asked to pay £30 for the lessons of
which there will be a further 8. Because we have so many
Partner/Teachers
there will be several of them attending each session so
that students can have more individual
attention.
The Club will complement these Courses with
special "Supported Sessions" which will be held
at the Club on Wednesday Evenings and where the
"new boys and girls" will be able to play Bridge
(under the supervision of Partner/Teachers, Peter
Plant and Eileen Hopson) but be able to ask
questions about difficult bids etc.....Peter and
Eileen will
also deliver FREE "reinforcing" lessons from
time to time There is also a special
session on a Wednesday afternoon which is aimed
at Beginners and Inexperienced players where the
play is relaxed and gentle. From there you can
progress to our "Social Bridge" sessions on
Monday and Friday
evenings where there will be no help but they
will be more leisurely sessions, played in a
relaxed atmosphere! After that you'll
be ready for our friendly/competitive Bridge
sessions! (but, of course, you can always
fast-track if you're picking up the game
quickly!) |
