Andre Asbury will offer an intermediate bridge class Sunday evenings, 6-8:30pm, throughout the fall at the Robins Duplicate Bridge Club. The format will be a 10-15 minute lesson with 2-3 deals related to the lesson followed by some supervised play, where I will answer any questions and offer some guidance. If there are at least 2 tables, this may be an 8 board duplicate game. Each lesson will be a stand alone session and it is expected that attendees have kowledge of basic bidding. The cost will be $5 per week per adult or $40 for the whole series and free for kids 18 and under. As usual, I'd like to know ahead of time how many to expect so email me at aaasbury @ gmail.com or fill out the form at the bottom of the lessons page if you plan to attend.
