Spring Workshops
Tuesday mornings, 9:30-11:307 drop-in classes
March 4 - April 22, 2025, no workshop on March 11
Learn some of the most important aspects of the game. If you'd like to practice your bridge bidding and playing skills, the Winter Workshops at Newtown Bridge Club are the place for you.
Come with a friend — or come alone and make new ones! See how quickly you can polish your bridge game.
The bridge program at Newtown Bridge Club emphasizes fun and learning from playing. These workshops start with a lesson followed by play and discussion of 4 to 6 practice hands. Accredited instructor, Susan Fronapfel, conducts the workshops.
Participants receive a comprehensive handout for each workshop. Tuition is $15 per lesson ($12 for Newtown Bridge Club members). Each workshop stands on its own so players can drop-in whenever their schedules permit.
For registration and questions, contact Susan at director@newtownbridge.org or 203-733-8525.
