Bridge: Class for Newer Players
This class is for bridge players who have some knowledge of bridge. The class will be using Stayman, Jacoby transfers, Blackwood, take-out doubles, and negative doubles so players recognize when to use each. We will be building bidding skills and defensive skills. We do this through playing hands which gives players an opportunity to learn play-of-the-hand skills as well. Instructor Mary Watson-Stribula has been teaching bridge in both New Canaan and Ridgefield for over nine years. She is currently working towards her life master designation. She is an enthusiastic and patient bridge teacher. Class size limited. Makeup, if necessary, is added to the end of the class.

Bridge: Intermediate
This class is for bridge players with experience in playing duplicate or rubber bridge. The class will be 2 or 3 tables playing the same hands and then comparing results and piecing together what made for the best bidding and play. Some lessons will be on defensive signals. Others will reflect both the interests of the class and the instructor's observations of what is needed by the players.
