Course Overview
The course is aimed at improving both your bidding and play of the cards. The emphasis will be on gaining understanding and becoming a better partner. Standard English Acol is the assumed bidding system.
On the first week there will be a review of the Acol bidding system.
Successive weeks will have a theme on bidding, defence or declarer play.
Teaching Format
The course will be given by Phil Cooke, an experienced lecturer and tutor, and a full member of The English Bridge Union Teachers Association.
Each week there will be an illustrated talk supported by handouts that summarise the information in an easy to use format. After the talk there is a supervised play session with carefully prepared hands. This period provides an opportunity to establish that you have understood the material and can put it into practice. There is also a social break with free refreshments.
Is It Suitable?
The course will appeal to anyone that already plays bridge and wants to improve. Those attending previous courses include
- Social players
- Those returning to bridge after a long gap
- Recent students wanting to consolidate their bidding and play in a learning environment.
- Ex-pats wanting to understand the British bidding system
The course is also potentially suitable those who have learnt some basic bridge from friends but now want a more structured way forward. Note: anyone in this category please discuss before booking a place.
All teaching is in accordance with Standard English Acol. The course is supported by the excellent text books produced by the English bridge Union, which are available for inspection and purchase.
