On Thursday we present lessons at 11:00am which are intended to help students and players from our other programs to prepare for ACBL sanctioned games here or at other clubs. We will cover the additional requirements of the game including convention cards, alerts and announcements. A number of conventions that are often seen at duplicate games are covered as well as advanced play for declarers and defense.
These lessons are open to all players and the cost is included in the subsequent game. For more information, contact the instructor, Skip Page at (845)341-7178 or sdeelpage@comcast.net.
