THE BRIDGE

The Welcome Pairs is a friendly warm up. The Saturday

consolation on Sunday morning. All sessions count
towards your rating and you earn GSPs. It is suitable for
players of all standard because there will be more than
one section. Partners are available.

Friday's intermediate lesson – $20 or 200 GSPs
The topic is how to read the opponents' cards. Your
opponents give away clues all the time as to what they
hold – they cannot avoid it. All you have to do is learn
how to spot these clues. Paul will show you three simple
techniques for working out which opponent has a key
missing card. The lesson and nothing else is $35.
