Beginner Bridge Continues to Grow

Monday, 31 July 2023 by Sherry Kinkopf

Our students had a real treat today with all three Kirkpatrick siblings helping teach the lesson.  Deanna had a rare day off and Russ drove in from Mobile. We had enough students for six tables today! A full house indeed.

Our lesson was held at the Sigler Center and focused on opening bids.  Students had received a lesson and video teaching them about opening 1 of a minor, 1 of a major, and 1 NT.  We enjoyed some whole class discussion and table practice exercises then dove into bidding boards designed for opening bids.

Our class now includes Anne Sylvest, Imelda Coleman, Mary Ellen Staiton, Sonya Woodard, Sandy Whitacre, Diane Hansen, Bill Finnicum, Sarah Finnicum, Patricia Wolfe, Buster Wolfe, Denise Weeks, Joni Guthrie, Chelsea Wells, April Gray, Rebecca Royse, Paula Cruz, Karen Shemper, Carolyn Hood, Martha Johnson, Russlyn Castle, Cindy Bralock, and Jean Martin.
