Sheffield Bridge Club offers lessons and guided playing sessions for a range of abilities - from "absolute beginners" through "improvers" to "intermediates" and beyond - all in a friendly & welcoming atmosphere.
Dominic Rayner is our principal teacher here at SBC, and he will be your teacher for most of the lessons. Dominic is a recent England under-25's squad member, a recent national champion, an experienced bridge teacher and a member of the English Bridge Teachers Association.
The club also offers some friendly sessions of gently competitive bridge, aimed at players with less experience who are wanting to make the step-up from their classes. See the club calendar for details.
Beginners
Tuesdays 19:15 - 21:15 (Beginners)
Here you learn about into the beginnings of bridge. This class is aimed at those who have yet to learn about the wonderful game of bridge – complete beginners welcome. Dom will start to take a look at basic card play techniques and eventually get into the bidding with a view to eventually equipping you with the abilities needed to play competitive bridge!
In the 'year 2' class, Dom will cover topics such as when to finesse and when to drop, conventions such as Asptro, Jacoby 2NT and Splinters and other key techniques to playing duplicate bridge. With newly constructed hands every week, you will discover what makes an average player into an excellent player. Come along to start your duplicate winning streak today!
£8 per session.
Play & Learn (any standard welcome!)
Mondays & Fridays 10:00 - 12:00 (Play & Learn)
Often when playing bridge you would love to ask the opinion of an expert to make your next bid, or play your next card. This is what a ‘play and learn’ session is! This class looks to sharpen your overall game without concentrating on any one specific subject. It is suitable for any standard and is great for those looking to practice already learnt techniques!
