Bidding Basics - Apr 1 to May 13, 2026
Complimentary Pre-lesson Mar Mar 23 2:00, Mar 25 11:00

7 lessons Wed 7:00-8:30 online $160 ($125 US)

This series will focus on proper Bidding basics, and will be aimed at new and kitchen Bridge players.  

Using Shark Bridge as our learning platform, there is no pressure as nobody is looking over your shoulder.  It's fun and interactive, and provides lots of practice.  You can go as fast or as slow as you like, you can undo and even replay the hand

All lessons will be recorded for later viewing.   The hands can be downloaded for extra practice during the week. 

Free online Demo and Technology lessons - by appointment
Contact Shelley to book (friends are welcome).

For those new to Bridge, I recommend that you download to your phone an App called "Tricky Bridge".  Modules 1 to 13 take you methodically through the absolute basics of Bridge and important Bridge terminology, to prepare you to understand the lessons more easily.
