Last week we talked about improving your Bridge game. Of course, a good way to improve your Bridge game is to take lessons. Unfortunately, in our area in recent years, there haven’t been many teachers introducing players to the nuances of the game. But, Superwoman to the rescue! Marilyn Kalbfleisch of Orillia is offering a series of six Bridge lessons in Bracebridge starting April 9. Marilyn is an experienced Bridge teacher. She has taught on Bridge Cruises. For many years, she offered Bridge Weekends at Fern Resort. She also has given many series of community lessons on different bridge topics.
These lessons will be for all interested players who have some knowledge of the game. Both men and women are welcome so bring your Bridge playing spouse as well as all your Bridge partners. No partner required for the lessons. Singles will be accommodated.
Lessons will start on Monday, April 9 and will run Mondays for 6 weeks. They will take place from 10:00 am to 12:00 noon at the Royal Canadian Legion 168 Muskoka Rd, in Bracebridge (just south of the OPP Station, off Cedar Lane). The price is $75 for all six weeks, or $15 for single lessons by cash or cheque (payable to “Nancy Barber” at the first lesson). Contact Nancy Barber – [email protected] or at 705 375 3620. Attendance must be confirmed in advance of the first lesson.
If you wish to promote an activity in your bridge group or ask a bridge question, send the information to [email protected] and I will try to include it in this column.
