The ABF Foundation is hosting a FREE bridge seminar during lunch break

of the Dick Cummings Pairs on Saturday October 21st.

Bring your lunch and come along and listen to expert bridge player, Sartaj Hans. 

If you have a hand from the morning's play you are also welcome to ask questions about the best approach.

You will love Sartaj's humour and presentation style.

Sartaj has represented Australia internationally many times.

This year Sartaj was a semi-finalist in the USA's Spingold event, and he has numerous Australian titles to his name.

Please register for the free seminar on MyABF so we get a feel for numbers. 

You will find the event in the program below.
