The Program
The bridge holiday is suitable for players of all standards with fascinating intermediate lessons and friendly duplicates. There is plenty of bridge with duplicate bridge sessions most afternoons and every evening. For players who wish to learn some new strategies there is a series of four interesting intermediate lessons.
You can play as much or as little as you wish. There will be players coming on the holiday on their own so you can always turn up to a session without a partner and have a game.
The duplicates will all have pre-dealt boards and hand records. Masterpoints will be awarded in all sessions, including red masterpoints in some events. Prizes will be awarded to session winners.
The program also includes a cruise on the Noosa River, lunch at the Noosa Boathouse at Noosaville, a trip to the Eumundi markets and final-evening drinks followed by a seafood and carvery buffet dinner with selected wines.
