Do you love playing bridge? Have you taken either the Basics or Intermediate I course and looking to do more this Spring? Have you noticed that you are defending at bridge 50% of the time? That is right! Did you know that being on Defence is the most fun you can ever have at the bridge table even when you do not have any points in your hand?

We at the Barbara Seagram School of Bridge are pleased to offer you for the very first time a series of 4 weeks so you can learn the basics of Defence. We are so fortunate to have Lorraine Eaglesham teaching this course for us. As many of you know, Lorraine is a born teacher. She has a great sense of humour, and her ability to make even the most difficult bridge concepts understood is a strength we rarely see.
