Weekend Bridge Course - Follow up to Blitz Weekend

Weekend Blitz Follow Up Course

This new course has been designed as a follow up to the popular Blitz Weekend courses. The programme will refresh knowledge gained on the Blitz and supplement it with new information, skills and techniques on exploring and explaining common problems faced by social / kitchen bridge players.  

The course will follow the themes in the Wednesday Hub Bridge classes during the Autumn term which may be an alternative avenue for those unable to commit to a full weekend of tuition. The topics will explore and address common problems in bidding such as:

• Principles of communication - reading the bids;
• Opening 1 of a Suit or No Trumps;
• Partner responses using the Losing Trick Count, Stayman or Transfers,
• Openers rebid - observing the barrier and showing strength;
• Overcalling - using Doubles for take out and 1 No Trump overcalls;
• Weak Two openings, pre-emptive bids and defence. 

Card Play will also be a major feature of this new course using random and pre-set hands and will cover

• Opening leads
• Signals and discards;
• Use of Trumps - when to take out, how to use on the short hand;
• Discarding losers;
• Finessing - how and when;
• Setting up long suits in No Trumps.
