Priscilla, they had the beginners and the advanced. I didn't really fit into either but was much closer to the beginners so that's the class I took. They moved along quick enough that it wasn't too long when half of that was over my head too! Some people took it more serious than others. I had a great 4-some (Tom didn't play)and we learned to play well enough with each other and made lots of mistakes but hey, who cares! We started playing between 1-2:00 each afternoon as well so we got extra "party bridge" time in. I never got into duplicate bridge...they were the serious group! You guys will have a lot of fun!
