Newtown Bridge Club will host four weeks of free lessons for aspiring bridge players on Mondays, 9:30 to noon, at Hawleyville Volunteer Fire Station, 34 Hawleyville Road (Route 25). Sessions will begin September 22.

“The Easybridge! lesson program offered at the club emphasizes fun and learning from playing. Beginners play in a game their first lesson,” said club manager Susan Fronapfel, who will present the lessons. “Players enjoy meeting others who are learning the game and many friendships are formed at the bridge table.”

The Easybridge!1 program is a 14-week series for beginners and players returning to bridge after some years. The format is a 20-25 minute lesson followed by two hours of play. Players are welcome to attend the lessons on their own or with friends.

The first four weeks of lessons are free; starting at week 5, the cost is $12 per lesson. An optional textbook is available for $15.

Newtown Bridge Club is affiliated with the American Contract Bridge League (ACBL). The club holds four ACBL-sanctioned duplicate bridge games each week: Mondays at 1 pm, Tuesdays at 10 am and 7 pm, and Wednesdays at 10 am. Games are played at Hawleyville firehouse, and all bridge players are welcome.
