The Asheville Bridge Room (ABR) announces a 10-week beginners and refresher course, “So, You Want to Play Bridge?” at Congregation Beth Israel, 229 Murdock Avenue, Asheville. The course, including play of the hand each week, begins on Wednesday, July 23 from 10:00 a.m.-12:00 noon.

Sanctioned by the American Contract Bridge League (ACBL), the well-established ABR was formerly located in the River Ridge Shopping Plaza for many years. These new classes are designed for adults, either new players or those who seek a review of the basics. The $60.00 registration fee includes both the 10-week course and the textbook. The teacher is Lisa Bryant, an ACBL certified bridge director and educator.

Other games are scheduled on Mondays and Wednesdays at 12:30; Fridays at 12:00; and some Sundays at 1:00. Game signup is $8.00.

Whether you’re a member of the ACBL (American Contract Bridge League) or not, if you are interested in new challenges, love the competition, want to meet new people and learn more, the ABR is the perfect place to mingle with others of diverse backgrounds who share your passion and desire to grow their skills.
