Nancy's Notes

SPRING has sprung at Nancy's Bridge House!  Mary and I are delighted with the number of new students and returning students who have joined the Nancy's Bridge House family in 2012.  Our classes (CONVENTIONS and INTERMEDIATE WORKSHOPS) are thriving and our Monday Night 99'er Game grown to more than 10 tables.  In case you haven't heard, we have expanded our Spring game schedule to include some Wednesday nights, Thursday mornings and Sunday afternoons. You are cordially invited to come play in any of our 99'er or NLM games. 
 
THURSDAY WORKSHOPS FOR INTERMEDIATES 
My WORKSHOPS FOR INTERMEDIATES are attracting more students all the time who want to learn more advanced bridge concepts and techniques.  This class meets on most Thursdays from 10 a.m. - noon. See "WORKSHOPS" page for specific dates and topics.  The class fee is $10; reservations not required.

CONVENTIONS CLASS (Beginners/Brush-Up)
Mary is now offering an 8-week beginner bridge course called  CONVENTIONS.   This class meets on Saturday mornings from 10 a.m. to noon  See "CONVENTIONS" page for specific dates and topics.  The class fee is $10; reservations not required.

One of the unique features of the NBH curriculum is that it is made up of four separate beginner courses: BIDDING, CONVENTIONS, PLAY OF THE HAND and DEFENSE.  Each course follows in order, giving the beginning student the assurance that there will be 32 weeks of instruction covering nearly a full year.  For continuing students, the certainty of the NBH schedule offers the opportunity to re-take those lessons/classes that may need a little more attention.

MONDAY NIGHT 99'ER GAME
I direct an ACBL-sanctioned 99'ers DUPLICATE GAME most Monday nights for players with fewer than 100 masterpoints.  The game is held in the Main Building of the Live Oak Senior Center. You are welcome to bring your questions at 6 p.m. for a brief Q & A session, followed by the game.  The game starts promptly at 6:30 p.m. and usually wraps up by 9 p.m.   This game is especially for players who want to hone their newly-acquired bridge skills in a friendly, fun atmosphere at an easy pace.  The table fee is $7, which includes light refreshments and Bridge Mates.  No sign-up is required.  Bring your favorite partner  and have a fun "night out". . See "GAMES" page for specific dates.
