QuickTricks is very pleased to announce that it will offer Part II of its beginner lesson series from January 4 through March 29, 2027.  

The series is ten lessons, held on Monday evenings from 6:00 to 8:00 PM (no class on January 18, MLK Day, and February 15, Presidents' Day), at Most Holy Redeemer Church, Ellard Hall, 110 Diamond St., in the Castro.  The final session will be the Graduation Game and party on March 29.  

Students currently enrolled in Part I are given priority for enrollment in Part II.  Additional spots may be available for new students who have not taken Part I.  Part II is suitable for people who some familiarity with bridge and want to continue learning and/or need a refresher.  It is not suitable for complete beginners who have never played bridge.
