Wellington Bridge Club - "Lets Talk About It" Sessions
From the Wellington Bridge Club
Our winter Saturday afternoon Lets Talk About It Sessions are aimed at giving “Improver” players (about a year out of the lessons) an opportunity to learn from a more experienced player at the table.
Players from all over the region turn up to these sessions, and what they love most about them is the conversation about how to avoid basic mistakes, and how they can improve their game.
These sessions will start again on 6 June after Kings Birthday, and continue till the middle of August. The focus topics this year will be on play and defence. We teach the NZ Bridge material, so that our improvers learn a consistent approach to the topic: all the learners use the same simple systems, so they are not distracted by trying to remember too many different conventions or approaches with different partners.
Where: Wellington Bridge Club, 17 Tinakori Road (parking underneath).
When: Saturdays: 1 pm
Who: aimed at improvers >1 year playing bridge
Cost: $6 to members, $8 to non members (Eftpos only – no cash)
