Precision Sessions in BIL

Precision Sessions in BIL

The Precision Club Sessions in BIL take place every Saturday at 8pm UK time. The whole course lasts several months and for the most part follows a fairly set pattern. Some topics are dealt with in a single week whilst others are covered over two or more weeks.

Breaks in the schedule occur from time to time and they are normally notified in advance in the BIL Gazette, by text messages on BBO to BIL Members, and will be notified on this page.

Apologies:
Apologies to all for these Teaching Sessions not recommencing in January 2010 as planned. My wife Naomi is not at all well at the moment and I simply cannot commit to spend the time teaching. Hopefully I will be in a position to re-start these teaching sessions in 2011.

Next Precision Session

The next BIL Precision Session will be as follows:-

On:- Saturday 8th January 2011 at 20:00 UK time (15:00 EDT)

Topic: Introduction to Precision
Comments: General Introduction to the Precision Club System. Opening Bids
