REFRESHER

 

The club runs a series of refresher courses throughout the year for intermediate to advanced players.

The lessons can be held over a few weeks or given as one off lectures.

The topics will range from revisions of core fundamentals to more advanced conventions and play techniques.

Players are welcome to attend as individuals or as a partnership. If you are unable to attend all sessions, please feel free to just come to those that suit. The lessons are given on a walk-in basis, there is no need to pre-register.

Cardplay Wednesdays

 

The next Refresher Course is a series concentrating on Card Playing Techniques.

 

  • When?            5th August/ 2nd September/ 7th October/ 4th November / 2nd December.

  • What Time?     5-00 pm Until 6-30 pm (hopefully accessible to both daytime players and workers).

 

  • How Much Does it Cost?     $15 per session (charged through MyABF or paid by cash on the day).

 

  • Who is it For?     It is aimed at players who have recently transitioned from Supervised Play to B-Grade as well as B-Grade players who may find that they have a clear understanding of system but have received less assistance in how to actually play the cards. In terms of difficulty is it intended to be slightly easier than the workshops William Jenner-O’Shea runs from time to time at the club.

 

  • What is the Format?     There will be a brief (ten minute) introduction to a topic of cardplay followed by six to eight hands where the bidding will be provided and participants will be able to put the lesson to work at the table. There will also be handouts with a half-page discussion on every hand explaining the relevant tricks, tips and principles.

 

  • Who is giving the lectures?     Initially, Steve Geddes will be providing the lectures for the first few months, although it is likely that down the track other teachers from the Club will run different sessions.
