MONDAY

Beginning Bridge (FULL)

Come learn bridge – this class is designed for the absolute beginner!

FAQS:

1. Do you need previous card knowledge?
   No, but the more you play the more knowledge you will gain.
2. What makes a person a good bridge player?
   You must enjoy interacting with other people and be logical with room for creativity.
   Counting to 13 is a plus, but you don’t need to be a math whiz. And, most importantly,
