The spring session of Bridge for Absolute Beginners at the Bridge Studio starts up Monday, March 6 from 7:30-9:00 PM. I took this class from Lee Goodman last spring and I've been hooked ever since. The classes assume no knowledge of Bridge at all and will have you ready to play in a duplicate game before you know it.

If you've played bidding games like Spades before and are ready for a real challenge, this is the place to get started. The first six lessons in this series are free, and if you think you'll like Bridge, Lee and Tim teach a second set of six lessons covering more complicated topics for a reasonable price.

These classes can fill up, so if you're interested, preregister with Tim Hays by calling (816) 361-8558 or emailing timmer33@netzero.net.
