Learn to Play Bridge
About the course
WHO
is it for?
This is a beginners course, 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.
WHAT
will I learn?
- You will learn how to play a trick – 4 players each play a card and the highest card wins.
- You will learn how to co-operate with a partner to win as many tricks as possible.
- You will learn how to bid how many tricks you will win – then the highest bidder has to win them!
HOW
will I learn it?
You will have face-to-face lessons and you will use resources on this website.
Every week, I will ask you to download study notes from the website and to watch a short video. The more you work at them, the more you’ll learn.
You will come to a lesson every week, where you can ask questions about the notes and video and play with other students. Afterwards, you can use the website to practise playing on your own.
You will make new friends and have fun together.
WHEN,
WHERE
and
HOW MUCH?
The course is running now (April to December 2024). These are the provisional details for the next one, if I’m spared.
I plan to start it in April 2026. There will be about 30 weekly lessons, from 9.15 to 11.30 on Tuesdays.
They will be in the Christ Church Scout and Guide Hut in Long Lane, Aughton.
The cost will be the same as for the regular U3A Bridge Group – currently £1 per session.
