For the fifth year, Celebrity Bridge webinars for the Peninsula bridge community are coming in 2026.  Last year we offered on-line lectures by noted teachers Amber Lin, Adam Parrish,  Barbara Seagram, Michael Berkowitz and an in-person lecture by Robert Todd.  In prior years we hosted a number of famous bridge teachers at our bridge center including, Larry Cohen, Barbara Seagram, Jerry Helms, Eddie Kantar, Donna Compton and Robert Todd.

In 2026, we will be providing five webinars.  These seminars will be held online on Zoom or in-person.  Zoom registration will include access to a recording of the session and any materials used; therefore, you don’t have to attend to get the benefit.  In-person registration will include class material.

Our current schedule is:

  • January 24 – Amber Lin:  How to Defend Against 3NT
  • April 11 – Adam Parrish: Planning the Play in NT
  • June 20 – Barbara Seagram:  Stripped and Cornered.  End Play Magic
  • Other dates / lecturers TBD

Planning the Play in NT
Adam Parrish Seminar
April 11, 2026

Do you avoid bidding notrump (NT) because you’re uncomfortable playing there?  Do you start to sweat when partner passes you in 1NT?  Declaring 3N, do you score 600 and get a low score because others are making 630 or 660?  You need to work on your notrump play!

This lesson will benefit Newcomers and Intermediate players.
