Easybridge 1 class begins Monday, January 16, 2006 at 9:15 AM  Flyer
Betty Bayard announced: "Our next class of Easybridge 1 will be on Mondays beginning January 16, 2006, at 9:15 AM.  This is an opportunity for people to learn bridge.  No knowledge of the game is needed.  Every year a number of attendees have been referred by you, our current members.  Perhaps you have friends who have wanted to learn, or you may know someone that would benefit from meeting new people.  The first four lessons are free, so do help us spread the word.  Flyers are on the table--take some to hand out.  Call Betty Bayard, 788-0782, with any questions."  (Nov 21, 2005)

Need help, contact Betty Bayard.  Also take a look at our Learn to Play Bridge page.

Welcome to the EasyBridge 1.
Our fantastic EasyBridge program is directed by Betty Bayard. Many of our current members are graduates of the EasyBridge program.  It's fun, it's easy, you make new friends and you learn bridge. 

The EasyBridge program is based on Edith McMullin's very successful approach to teaching bridge.

EasyBridge 2 meets 9:00 AM on Wed. 

We have limited games everyday so there is always a game for you. Check our schedule.

Our Zero Tolerance for Unacceptable Behavior policy ensures a courteous, friendly atmosphere to enjoy the game we love.

Learning resources
Learning Resources are available on the  Internet covering conventions, leads, signals, defense, interesting hands, quizzes and so on. 

The ACBL learning area is a good place to start.  But try our Learn To Play Bridge where we have gathered many resources and links for you.  Check our Bridge Link page for other places to explore.  Be sure to look at Bridge Tips from our club members and the Bridge Books ,  page where members post book lists and book reviews. Also enjoyable are Bridge Trivia, and Bridge Hands.  Have fun learning!
