When we got serious
We learnt so much from Kirsten in Getting Started Classes BUT when we took the Getting Better Class we got so confident that we were playing regularly at home.
Learning together was fun
I started out learning to play bridge on my own, but Kirsten soon paired me up with Margaret, and together we have learnt so much doing the Getting Better course together.
Example Curriculum
Getting Better Face to Face
Since doing Kirsten's Getting Better online course Alan and I now go regularly to one of Playbridge's face to face supervised sessions. It is so much more rewarding now that we have a suit of alternate bidding and playing strategies.
