The Club has classes for
Beginners which
started on the Wednesday
Evening of September 16th, 2009 and on the
Friday Morning of September 18th........ there
is also opportunity to join them at a later
date, depending on your previous experience of
the game. You
need NO previous experience if you start in
September..... and you don't need
to have a partner. To book your place email
our Training Secretary Pat Murphy at
tonymurfia@tiscali.co.uk or call her on
01253 734489. The next courses will start in
September 2010 ,but you can enrol for them right
now to ensure that you have a place. There
will be an Open Day at 2pm on a Sunday in August
2010 (date to be decided) if you want to call in and learn all
about the classes and the Bridge sessions that
the Club has to offer. Clifton currently has 8 EBU (English Bridge Union)
trained 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
Teachers
there will be several of them attending each session so
that students can have more individual
attention.
On Wednesday evenings we play "Simple
Systems" Duplicate Bridge where questions can be
asked at the end of the session about the hands
played that evening. There are also special sessions on a Wednesday
and Friday afternoons which are aimed
at Beginners and Inexperienced players where
"Simple Systems" are used and the
play is more relaxed and gentle. As you
gain confidence you will be more than welcome to
join our existing members on Monday afternoons
("Simple Systems") or any of the other evening
sessions when Competitive Duplicate Bridge is
played to Level 3. Although these are competitive
sessions, our members do appreciate the
difficulties experienced by beginners and you
will find them very supportive. |
