We really enjoyed your class this week. We were all new to your class. You made us all feel very welcome. It is very nice to have a teacher that smiles at us. Lot of information but the pace of the class was great. We will be back!

You and Nancy do a great job of teaching and bringing us all along in our bridge playing. While I haven't been able to come as much as I would like because of my work, I have very much been enjoying it when I can. Everyone is so supportive, friendly and encouraging.

Congratulations on a great year of teaching and growth. Last night, while we were playing, I could not stop thinking about "The Garage". . . HP and Apple, and now Nancy's Bridge House. Great company!

There were lots of "games in the homes" it seemed to me while we were on vacation (between sessions). We can play the game of bridge now, thanks to you and Mary. We had lots of fun. So very much appreciated, what you guys are doing!

I've taken bridge lessons from well known teachers in town. After 3 months, I thought that I must really be dense for not getting IT! A chance meeting with a friend told me about Nancy Driscoll's bridge classes.
Nancy is an EXCELLENT teacher! Her passion for the game is infectious. She has LOTS OF PATIENCE; understanding that novices learn by taking baby steps.
I'm making great progress and have made many friends in the process.
THANK YOU NANCY

Nancy is the best bridge instructor! Many years ago I tried taking a class in bridge. I was highly disappointed because I didn\'t learn a thing. Nancy explains weekly the chapter we studied. Also we get to play a few games. Between the two you learn it. At first you are overwhelmed and the next thing you know, the pieces all fall together and you have a lot of fun. You learn from your mistakes. I look forward to the weekly classes. I highly recommend Nancy\'s bridge classes to anyone that wants to learn the game. She makes it enjoyable.

My sister and mother played Bridge for years. They always asked why I had not learned to play. I had many excuses. Then one day in January, my friend Lorraine asked me to take lessons with her. I said yes with some apprehension. That was one of the best decisions I ever made. Nancy is an outstanding teacher. In six weeks I learned the basics of Bridge and was able to play a game with my sister and friends. My sister was amazed at how well we played. She commented that my teacher had done a superb job teaching us and is now worried I will soon outplay her. I have continued taking lessons and playing with the group that I began with in January. I an looking forward to many more years of Bridge Lessons from Nancy.

Bridge is an amazing game, one that you can keep learning more and more about. Nancy and Mary are fabulous teachers. They combine the right amount of instruction with a hands on \"let\'s play\" setting. If you\'re looking for some great brain exercise, bridge is it and Nancy\'s Bridge House is the place!

Nancy's Notes
The new year has started off with a BANG at Nancy's Bridge House! Mary and I are thrilled with the number of new students and returning students who have joined the Nancy's Bridge House family in 2012. Our classes (BIDDING and INTERMEDIATE WORKSHOPS) are completely filled and our Monday Night 99'er Game has built up to 10 tables. In case you haven't heard, we have expanded into the Main Building at the Live Oak Senior Center for our games to accommodate so many players. One more thing. . . I've decided to direct one Non-Life Master game monthly on Sunday afternoons. Check the schedule to see when the next one is scheduled.
THURSDAY WORKSHOPS FOR INTERMEDIATES
From January until the end of February, I will continue my popular series of 2-hour workshops on Thursday mornings from 10 a.m. to noon, covering a variety of beyond-beginner bridge topics. These workshops are designed for intermediate players who want to expand those bridge skills learned in the beginning classes or who want to reach the next plateau in their bridge game See "WORKSHOPS" page for specific dates and topics. The class fee is $10; reservations not required.
BIDDING CLASS (Beginners/Brush-Up)
Mary is now offering an 8-week beginner bridge course, called BIDDING This class will meet on Saturday mornings from 10 a.m. to noon. See "BIDDING" page for specific dates and topics. The class fee is $10; reservations not required.
One of the unique features of the NBH curriculum is that it is made up of four separate beginner courses: BIDDING, CONVENTIONS, PLAY OF THE HAND and DEFENSE. Each course follows in order, giving the beginning student the assurance that there will be 32 weeks of instruction covering nearly a full year. For continuing students, the certainty of the NBH schedule offers the opportunity to re-take those lessons/classes that may need a little more attention.
MONDAY NIGHT 99'ER GAME
I direct an ACBL-sanctioned duplicate game most Monday nights for players with fewer than 100 masterpoints. The game is held in the Main Building of the Live Oak Senior Center. You are welcome to bring your questions at 6 p.m. for a brief Q & A session, followed by the game. The game will start promptly at 6:30 p.m. and usually wraps up by 9 p.m. This game is especially for players who want to hone their newly-acquired bridge skills in a friendly, fun atmosphere at an easy pace. The table fee is $7, which includes light refreshments. No sign-up is required. Bring your favorite partner or call me in advance at 477-9561 to arrange one for you. See "GAMES" page for specific dates.
SUNDAY AFTERNOON NLM GAME
Many of our continuing students are beginning to play in regular duplicate games and tournaments. In order to offer them a chance to work on their endurance and concentration, I'm directing a Non-Life Master game one Sunday afternoon a month. The game starts at 1 p.m.sharp, the table fee is $7 and you should bring your own partner. All members of Unit 550 and other bridge players in the community are invited to play in this full-length, competitive game. See "GAMES" page for specific dates.
