The Courses
Beginner course
Beginner Course
This course is for people who have never played bridge before.
It is also for people who have played bridge a little or a long time ago and want to relearn.
Learn to
Play Bridge
The course will enable you to enjoy playing social bridge in the relaxed atmosphere of the U3A Bridge Group or with friends at home.
I hope to run the next course from January to September 2026, face-to-face.
Refresher Courses
These courses are for experienced players who have become a bit rusty on some details and would like to fill in the gaps.
They are also for Learn to Play Bridge graduates who want to refresh their memories and expand their knowledge.
Brush Up
Your Bidding
I plan to start the next course in September 2025, face-to-face.
Polish Up
Your Play
I hope to run the next course in late 2026, face-to-face.
Advanced Courses
These courses are for experienced players who are confident with the standard bidding system and everyday cardplay and would like to add some refinements.
They are also for Brush Up Your Bidding and Polish Up Your Play graduates who are ready for the next step.
Better Bidding
This course is for anyone who ever finds themself wondering “Just how strong is my hand? Should I bid game?” or “I really want to support partner’s overcall, but how can I make sure she doesn’t get carried away?”
I hope to run the next course in 2027, face-to-face.
Prime Play
This course is about declarer play. It is for anyone who ever finds themselves thinking “If only I knew who had the King of Diamonds”, or “Should I draw all the trumps, some of them or none, now or later?”
I hope to run this course for the first time in spring 2026, online.
