These classes will be run by Mike Collier (jmcilkley) who is a qualified bridge teacher with 10 years experience and has taught Modern Acol for the past 3 years. 
The classes will be different from those run before in the Acol Club as they will be supplemented by notes, exercises and tests that you can receive by email.  A new email account has been set up (modernacol@gmail.com) and you can register for the classes by sending an email to that address.  There is no need to put anything in the email – it is just so we can send information to you.  Registering is not essential to attending the lesson but you will benefit from the information that will be sent to you.
We are not sure how fast the classes will go so it’s hard to say how many lesson there will be – probably at least 20, with a possibility of more advanced classes to follow.
The classes should be suitable for both beginners and intermediate players and it will be assumed that you already know the basics of bridge and can count to 13. 
The philosophy will be that you should not just learn how to bid in a parrot-like way but that you should also understand why.  Class member will play prepared hands that have at least one relevant lesson to the bidding and sometimes also lessons in card play.
