Bridge

Ever thought of trying something new? Ever thought I’ll try something a little quirky? Well, 2 of my friends and I decided to take Bridge lessons. I was the first to arrive and as expected there was a flurry of grey hair, walking sticks and wrinkly faces around the room, a young lady came in (I’d say late 20’s early 30’s) she made a bee line for me and we immediately clicked by saying ' I thought I'd be the only young one here' she joined our group and became our 4th. Being our first 2 hour introduction to Card Bidding, Tricks, Trumps, Card Values and Dummy’s I’ve come to the conclusion this game isn’t as easy as it looks… Contracts, bidding and reading your partner, I’m not at all competitive when it comes to ‘a game’ which works brilliantly for our little group. $29 for 4 weeks of 2 hour lessons – bargain! Next week we’ll be learning the scoring system. Who knows in 40 years time I may have a little Bridge team having tea and cookies
