When Sarah Barker embarked on the Ambassador Ambition Cruise on January 9th to Cuba she knew that there would be a lot of Bridge Teaching and Bridge Playing.
What she didn't expect on the first lesson was for over 100 complete Beginners to arrive to be taught from scratch. As the room held a maximum of 44 People many were turned away disappointed. After discussions with the Cruise Director, Adam - Sarah offered to put on an extra lesson each day to keep all the Guests happy. This meant 2 groups of 44 Players being taught.
At the end of the Cruise, and 28 Sea Days of the original 88 Players, 72 of them lasted the Course and were given a Certificate (picture). Sarah also felt they would now all be able to go and play in a gentle Duplicate Game.
Each afternoon we also ran a Bridge Duplicate Session, and after 28 Sea Days the Overall Winners were John and Penny Stroud, pictured above with their Prize of a Bottle of Champagne with Sarah Barker and Deputy Cruise Director Charlotte.
Sarah runs the Great Yarmouth Bridge School with her Husband John and they both really enjoy bringing new players into the game. They can be contacted on 07767 864575 or gybs@bridgewebsemail.com
