Event Details
Please note that Darien residents will receive priority for this strategy class. Please have your library card number handy, along with your email address, as you will need it for registration. Thank you.
The 2026 card is here and full of surprises!
Join us for a fun evening of discussing the latest card and dissecting the hands.
Instructor Donna Holt will guide participants through the changes and challenges of the 2026 card, explaining tricky hands and new patterns. After we discuss the card, a session of Guided Play will give you a chance to try out the hands with Donna’s suggestions. There will be question and answer periods throughout, and a review sheet will be emailed to you after the class.
This is not a class for beginners! Participants must know the NMJL rules of play, and be able to read the NMJL annual card. We suggest that players have at least 6 months of consistent play under their belts. This hands-on class is limited to 20 players. Please bring your 2026 card to the class.
