Come join David Potts and Janet Hutcheson for a few hours of learning and collegiality. Bridge can be a relaxing way to spend an evening or a challenging way to stretch your thinking. We will learn the modern bidding system called standard American which differs some from the older Goren system. We will use the book Bridge for Everyone by D.W. Crisfield as our guide. Using the book will also make it possible to miss some classes and still participate. We will start by understanding how to play and move on to concepts of bidding. There are only 16 words used in the bidding auction. What could be easier? At the conclusion you will be ready to join the Bridge Special Interest Group at OLLI or play with your friends over a few drinks. It is suggested that participants purchase or download Bridge for Everyone by D.W. Crisfield.

David Potts is a lifelong bridge player, having first played in college, and then not playing until retirement five years ago. David is the past Chair of the Board of Advisors for OLLI Clemson and dedicated to the goals of OLLI for education and social interaction.
