Great news!

(Four, skip, four) This class is open to ALL BRIDGE PLAYERS. If you play bridge, you're welcome in this class. There are no other prerequisites. This course is a continuation in the ACBL's "Bridge in the 21st Century" program; you'll find the lesson format familiar. Besides the focus on defense, each lesson will include some review of bidding and play-of-the-hand tips for the declarer. This class has a new set of special cards to deal and play hands relevant to the lesson. The location is on the beautiful campus of Oneonta Congregational Church: 1515 Garfield Avenue South Pasadena, CA 91030 The "Forum" room Plenty of parking on the site Here is the lesson plan: Lesson 1 – Opening Leads against Notrump Contracts Lesson 2 – Opening Leads against Suit Contracts Lesson 3 – Third-Hand Play Lesson 4 – Second-Hand Play Lesson 5 – Defensive Signals Lesson 6 – Developing Defensive Tricks Lesson 7 – Interfering with Declarer Lesson 8 – Making a Plan IF YOU WANT TO ATTEND, I would appreciate hearing from you. There's no need to preregister; please bring the class fee to the first class. I would like to get an idea of who will be coming. There is a minimum number of students I will need to make the class viable, so if I don't have enough, only the first class will be held.
