SUMMARY:Saturday Sampler
DESCRIPTION:A monthly class for novice and intermediate players. \nEach class is standalone with a hands-on lesson\, followed by pre-dealt boards. You’ll also receive a handout with a summary.  Classes will review and reinforce basics; many will present new concepts as well. \nYou can attend as many or as few as you like. We do ask you to register for each class in advance (scroll down) so we can prepare enough pre-made boards and handouts. \nDo I need a partner? No\, but partners are encouraged to attend together. \nWill classes always be the 4th Saturday of the month? No – class dates may shift due to unit games or other events\, but will usually be the 4th or 5th Saturday. \nDo I need to know 2 Over 1? No\, classes will use Standard American bidding; but will often be useful to 2/1 players as well. \nUpcoming Classes \nFor more information email Anna Ravenscroft annaraven@gmail.com
