ACBL Unit 503


Lecture Series

The Unit provides a series of free lectures as part of our education program. These lectures cover areas of interest for new as well as intermediate players. Lectures are held Tuesdays at 9:45 AM at our Bridge Center.

For more information or to receive email notifications of upcoming lectures contact Fred Schwerer (650) 856-7960 email.

We'd like your feedback about this program. Fred says it's too late to change him but you might influence next year's coordinators. Comments pro and con are welcomed; especially with regard to lecture topics, speakers, day and time, length, difficulty (relative to this year's), format (lecture and/or play hands) or anything else.
