Bidding foundations is an 8 week series hosted by Mary Elson (Inaugural Victorian Teacher of the Year). The series follows Mary's Beginner Bridge Book.
Does this sound perfect for you? The foundations sessions suit players who have learnt bridge in the last few years or anyone who has learnt previously and would like to come back to the game. If you have played 500 before and would like to take the leap into bridge, this series is also suitable.
