We at South Perth Bridge Club know how important it is to bring new players into our club. We therefore place much emphasis on providing a comprehensive teaching programme for new players and improving players. Our two experienced teachers have over sixty years teaching experience between them. Fiske Warren is recognised as one of Australia's top bridge teachers and is an Honorary Teaching Fellow of the Australian Bridge Federation. He has been teaching bridge for over forty years, most recently in Perth since moving here in 2008. He has been the principal bridge teacher at SPBC since that time and has inspired many new bridge players through his fun and enjoyable lessons. He is stepping back a little but will be still running classes for developing players at our club.
Jan Howell is an ABF accredited teacher with over twenty years experience, starting out at Mandurah then at Melville and now South Perth Bridge Club. She particularly enjoys helping new players understand how to play the cards to make their contracts.
BEGINNERS LESSONSLessons are suitable for people who have never played cards and for those who have previously been to beginners classes and wish to brush up their understanding of bridge. You will learn how to bid and play hands and at the end of the course will be able to play a simple game of bridge. Lessons are held in the daytime and also evening, to suit people in the workforce. The eight week course is followed by two weeks of structured practice after which you will be able to join our supervised sessions.
