All classes are conducted by the Centre's director
(Chris Raisin) who is currently a Bridge State Master
(ABA) with 15 years experience teaching bridge and over 20 years experience
teaching computer programming at university level (Adult Education).
Beginners classes run for 6 weeks.
The textbook "Introduction to Bridge" by Paul Marston is available (if desired)
at cost price
(postage free=approx. $17-00). Classes use this book as a guide and for
reinforcement although slides used are not contained in the
textbook. Handouts are supplied allowing students to "fill-in" the answers
during revision at the start of each class (weeks 2-6)
All classes are paid "up front" and are
non-refundable. Missed lessons (through sickness etc) may be "caught up" if
desired by
paying an additional $15 per "catch up" either at an arranged time, or at
another class being run for that week concerned)
Course cost is $90-00 ($15-00 per lesson). This includes a brief "break" at half
time for a cup of tea/coffee and a couple of biscuits.
The Beginner class is followed by
four weeks of "Supervised Play", where you just "play bridge". Supervised play is optional,
but most students love these sessions! They prepare you well for competitive
play at club
level. Our club
is full of
success stories!
These sessions are the same $15-00 per session "pay as you go" at each
session.
People who complete the Beginners Class and at least 2 of the "Supervised Play"
sessions receive free 12 months membership
to the ECBC club if they decide to join (ABF fess and VBA fees excluded). ECBC
runs it's sessions in Box Hill on Monday and Friday
evenings.
If you are an experienced Bridge Player and want to practice hands specifically
designed for your
system (or to review or play your
system's conventions)
this can be arranged! INTERMEDIATE and SPECIAL sessions
are at the low rate of $20 per 3 hour session
and there is no minimum or maximum number of sessions (even only
ONE session is not too much trouble!)....just call us!
