Bridge; next Sunday 29/7/2007

[ghoti_mhic_uait]

Benedict is desperate to learn Bridge, but it's often difficult to find a gathering prepared to include a very beginner. I suppose we only really need a fourth - but it needs to be an experienced and tolerant fourth.

Anyway, we thought that next Sunday, 29th July, would be a good time to gather people together at our house to play bridge - we'd like a mixture of experienced people and beginners, so don#'t be shy, now's your chance.

Comment if you're interested, and what time you can make.

Does he already play whist type games? If not, it might be worth trying to find people to play knockout whist, estimation whist or similar for a few weeks as a way into Bridge. I imagine it'd be a very hard introduction to Bridge to have to learn the bidding and whist at the same time.

Once you've got the whist down, there are two further elements you need to work out - bidding how many tricks you have, and partnershipness. In order to ease these, you probably want to have fairly fixed 'if this, then that' rules about bidding.

I love Whist, and even Solo Whist, but I never made the "jump" to Bridge.

I really ought to attempt to do so again, at some point.
