A note about Online classes
Remote classes require a deck of cards, writing materials, and an electronic device such as a computer/laptop/tablet or smartphone. You must have an account with BBO (Bridge Base Online.) Accounts are free. I will purchase robots if there are any empty seats. Online play goes faster, so we will play 6—8 hands per lesson. Hand outs are emailed after class is over. If you want a class, but can’t take it that day, that’s okay. I will accept a group of 2 or more to book a different class in any open time slot.
