Bridge Lessons in Cedar Rapids!

MaryAnn & Jim Boardman

MaryAnn & Jim Boardman

There will be bridge lessons offered in November and December this year. MaryAnn Boardman will be teaching a class for bridge players who are not absolute beginners. This class is for players who know the point count, the rank of the suits, and have a basic understanding of the play. Her lessons will teach the newer methods of bidding and include play of the hand and defense, as well. The bidding will emphasize modern ways to evaluate your opening bids, NoTrump bidding including Stayman and Jacoby Transfers, competitive bidding, and bidding your major suits correctly. There will be 6 lessons, Nov. 6,13,20 and December 4,11,18. Each lesson will be $6, $36 paid at the first class for all 6 lessons. The class will be held at her house, 4108 13th Ave. SE in Cedar Rapids and will be from 12:30 to 3:30. Please call 319 362 9474 or 319 540 4206 to sign up or for more information.

The class is limited to 16, so get your name in quickly. She would be glad to offer a beginner class on the Tuesday before each Wednesday class if there is enough interest. If you have non-bridge playing friends who see you having so much fun and want to learn, direct them to MaryAnn.
