Learning Bridge and Improving Your Game
The basic objective of the TBA is to promote and foster interest in the game of Bridge in Tasmania. We offer a range of options for players at all levels to learn and improve their game.
These very popular six week courses are ideal for people just starting in this wonderful game. They are taught by our ABF accredited bridge teacher Sue Falkingham.
The next set of courses will be starting on Monday 26th and Tuesday 27th February 2024. Sessions are held on Monday afternoons (1:00pm to 3:00pm) and Tuesday evenings (7:00pm to 9:00pm) at the TBA clubrooms.
Two other sets of courses are planned in 2024, starting 17th/18th May 2024 and 30th September/1st October.
The courses costs $120 per person. Register by emailing tba@tasbridge.com.au or calling Sue on 0411 646 888
