getting better
Once you have completed the beginners' course, you will be a fully-fledged member of the
Acol Bridge Club and should aim to do supervised play at least once a week. When you are ready you can enrol
on the Next Step course, which is available either as six two-hour weekly lessons or as one intensive weekend.
On the Next Step course, you will learn about overcalls (bids made in
the auction after an opponent has opened), defensive techniques &
strategies, and doubles (the exciting-looking red card with the X on
it!).
Once you have completed the Next Step Course and have done enough
supervised play to feel confident about everything you have learned so
far, you can enrol on the Improvers' course, either as six two-hour
weekly lessons or as one intensive weekend.
The Improvers Course aims to consolidate what you have learned on our
Beginners and Next Step courses and to prepare you for Gentle Duplicate
by introducing more advanced bidding topics such as Stayman, Transfers,
Opening 2♣ and 2NT, Weak Twos and 3-level pre-emptive openings.
getting clever
After the Improvers' Course you can choose from a range of
courses/seminars concentrating on more sophisticated aspects of
declarer play, defence, bidding and duplicate tactics.
