Improver Bridge HOLIDAYS

Improver holidays are focused on both learning and play, in a friendly and social atmosphere and at a relaxed pace. They are run by experienced and friendly teachers. They are not designed for complete beginners or experienced duplicate players. Rather, they are aimed at players who have been learning and playing fairly regularly for at least a year (preferably with some experience of playing in a competitive setting) and for players seeking to develop their skills and to gain confidence to play in competitive club duplicate sessions.

Morning sessions begin with a seminar, introducing bidding and play techniques to improve your game. The seminars are followed with prepared hands to illustrate the seminar topic. Sometimes we discuss the hands as a group and other times we play the hands in an assisted session where you are able to ask for help and guidance with both bidding and play.

Examples of Morning seminar topics and prepared hands:

Opening Leads

The Losing Trick Count

Negative Doubles

One evening is a competition night run as a standard duplicate session, where prizes and EBU master points will be awarded. Other evenings are either assisted or unassisted bridge, depending on players' confidence levels. We tailor these holidays to suit the players' abilities.

Afternoons are free for you to relax or explore the area.

Above all, this will be a friendly holiday and everyone will be found a suitable partner.

Come along and give it a go! If you are at all unsure whether this holiday is suitable for you, please call us on 01656 747-700 and ask to speak with Simon.

BEGINNER BRIDGE HOLIDAYS

Join our beginner bridge holidays and learn to play duplicate bridge in a relaxed and friendly environment whilst enjoying a great hosted holiday. Expert tutors will be running seminars and assisted playing sessions each morning and evening. With the aim of taking you from a complete beginner to being able to play in assisted sessions in 7 days and completely unassisted in 14 days. We have split the holidays in the UK to part 1 and 2 so that you can take a little extra time to digest all that you are learning. All our holidays will have our standard bridge holiday running in a separate bridge room, so you will always have the opportunity to dip your two into the normal bridge sessions when you think you are ready to do so.

Our ethos to learning bridge is that by playing with assistance is preferred and supported by seminars. We all want to get the cards in hand as soon as possible and you will be encouraged to do so and you will always be learning alongside others with a similar experience level.

There is no point in rushing this and we believe that everyone should learn at their own pace and in a relaxed manner. Bridge is a game you may never truly master, your learning will never end so let's start in the best way possible and that's with a smile on your face and the sun on your back.

We have been running fun and friendly bridge holidays for over 33 years and have the very best bridge directors, hosts and teachers available to help you start enjoying the most challenging and rewarding card game in the World.

If you are at all unsure whether these holidays are suitable for you or need any further information please call us on 01656 747-700 and ask to speak to Simon.
