These lessons are suitable for complete beginners as well as those who want to refresh their basic knowledge. Fiske will first teach you how to play the game and then provide you with the knowledge and skills to bid and play the cards. Each week, you will build on your knowledge from previous weeks and full course notes will be provided. By the end of the course, students will have learnt the basics of the Standard American Bidding System and will be ready to play either among friends or in supervised sessions at the bridge club.

**********************************************

SUPERVISED BRIDGE SESSIONS

Supervised sessions are short sessions played in a relaxed atmosphere for people who have just completed beginners' lessons to help them develop basic skills and confidence to progress towards playing in intermediate sessions and ultimately in open sessions.

Players may ask for help with bidding and card play and may also consult their notes until such time as they feel able to play without support during the game.

It is anticipated that players will progress from supervised sessions to intermediate sessions within one or two years.

Members who have started playing in intermediate sessions would not be expected to continue playing in supervised sessions.

Cost:-Members $7, Visitors $10, Youth (under 26) $4. People who have just finished lessons at SPBC will receive free vouchers for two supervised sessions.

Players may come to these sessions without a partner if they don't have one. We can provide a partner for the session.

Mondays 9.15 am to 12.00 noon Supervisor: Lyndall Steed

Wednesdays 7:00 pm to 9.30 pm Supervisor: Martin Doran

Thursday afternoons 12.45 to 3.45pm Supervisor: Bill Symons
