Newtown Club Hosts Lessons for Aspiring Bridge Players

The Newtown Bridge Club will host 2 weeks of free lessons for aspiring bridge players on Wednesdays, 6:30 – 8:30 PM, at the EDMOND TOWN HALL, 45 Main Street, Newtown CT, beginning March 22, 2017.

“The Easybridge! lesson program offered at the club emphasizes fun and learning from playing. Beginners play in a game their first lesson,” said Accredited Instructor, Georgeann Kishner, who will present the lessons. “Players enjoy meeting others who are learning the game and many friendships are formed at the bridge table.”

The Easybridge!1 program is a 13-week series for beginners and players returning to bridge after some years. The format is a 20-25 minute lesson followed by play of 6 to 12 bridge hands. Players are encouraged to come to the lessons alone or with friends. The first two weeks of lessons are free; starting at week 3, the cost is $12 per lesson. An optional textbook is available for $15. The final lesson will be given on June 14, 2017.

The Newtown Bridge Club is affiliated with the American Contract Bridge League (ACBL). The club holds four ACBL-sanctioned duplicate bridge games each week: Mondays at 12:30 pm, Tuesdays at 10 am and 7 pm, Wednesdays at 10 am and Thursdays at 12:30 pm. Games are played at EDMOND TOWN HALL, 45 Main Street, Newtown, CT. Please visit www.newtownbridge.org for information about Newtown Bridge Club.
