Stretch your brain: Ten weeks to basic bridge

Bridge Lessons: Ten Weeks to Basic Bridge starts Wednesday April 4

Stretch your brain -- play Bridge!

Seattle Bridge Center is announcing a series of lessons for beginning Bridge players: "Ten Weeks to Basic Bridge" beginning April 4, 2018.

This series will be led by David Dailey, a relative newcomer to Bridge who understands the challenges encountered by new players.

You'll learn Bridge from the ground up using Standard American bidding. This fast-paced series is ideal for those with no card playing experience, as well as for players who want to get back into the game using modern methods.

When you complete this series, you will be ready to play Bridge in social games as well as in introductory Duplicate games. Seattle Bridge Center offers a Rookie Duplicate game on Tuesday evenings.

You can take the lessons by yourself or with a partner. You'll meet several new players along the way.

Lesson fees are collected on a pay-as-you-go basis. You can stop or return at any time.
- $10 per person per week (includes each week's materials)
- $5 for ages 19-25
- $Free for ages 18 and under

Class materials for missed lessons are available at $3 per lesson (free for 18 and under).

Classes are held at Seattle Bridge Center, 1539 NE 145th Street, Seattle WA 98125. We are a half-mile east of Interstate 5 at Exit 175 for NE 145th Street. We share a parking lot with the QFC supermarket and Dollar Tree store on the southeast corner of 15th Ave NE and NE 145th St. If you are facing the entrance to the Dollar Tree store, turn to your right and you will be facing our front door.

We have plenty of free parking. The intersection of 15th Ave NE and NE 145th St is served throughout the evening by Metro routes 65, 73, 347, and 348, and by other routes (64, 308, and 373) in the early evening.

This series begins on Wednesday, April 4, 2018 meets on 10 Wednesday evenings through June 13, 2018. There is no class meeting on May 9.

Each class begins at 7pm and runs until 9:30pm. We start right at 7pm to make the best use of your time. Our doors are usually open by 6:45pm at the latest. Light snacks are provided; food is also available nearby at the Burger King restaurant or the QFC deli counter.

Please let us know if you're planning to attend, so we can be sure to prepare enough copies of the lesson materials.
