Spades & Company was honored to welcome Sherri French, a respected Life Master and bridge director, for a special Monday session focused on guided bridge play and learning from experience at the table. Players enjoyed a quick lesson followed by the opportunity to play alongside a “master,” gaining valuable insight into strategy, decision-making, and partnership communication during live bridge games.

Thanks to Sherri’s patience, encouragement, and expertise, players left the session with growing confidence and a deeper understanding of the game. Experiences like this are invaluable for anyone looking to learn to play bridge, improve their skills for a future bridge tournament, or simply become more comfortable at the table. One of the most rewarding aspects of bridge is the willingness of experienced players to mentor others and share the knowledge they’ve developed over years of play.

At Spades & Company in Plymouth, Minnesota, we believe bridge is about much more than cards—it’s about connection, lifelong learning, and community. Special sessions like this create opportunities for friendships to grow while helping players continue advancing through meaningful bridge lessons and hands-on experience. We are incredibly appreciative of the time and energy mentors like Sherri devote to helping others enjoy and succeed in the game.

Thank you, Sherri, for sharing your passion for bridge and inspiring our players to continue learning and growing at the table.
