| Welcome! We hope you enjoy the opportunity to
meet CBA Life Masters and learn more about bridge in a fun, informal,
and entertaining 20 minutes at the Cincinnati Bridge Center. These seminars are free to
CBA members and new players. We thank Karen Walker,
Richard Pavlicek, Phillip Alder, and Bridge Hands
for the wealth of information published on their websites. The seminars are based on
published information, to which our discussion leaders will add their
perspective, advice and experience.
If you find better information on a topic of
interest please bring it to the attention of the content owner from the
CBA Education Committee (see below).
Click on the buttons for the series of interest to
you. Bring a friend
or 3 (bridge goes better in 4's!) Better yet bring a whole section to
join you as you learn more about the game, our players, and what you
can do to have more fun and success at duplicate bridge. Sincerely, The CBA Education Committee |
