Small groups are usually groups of 4 to 8 people where we meet in someone's home. Any level of bridge may be taught, from beginning bridge, such as the ACBL Club Series, through advanced topics for experienced duplicate players. Most sessions run from 1 to 2 hours. The fee for such classes are $10 per person, with a $40 minimum. Materials, such as textbooks and handouts are extra. There are no cancellation fees for rescheduling or cancelling these lessons.
