What kind of materials are consumed while teaching Bridge? A deck of cards costs about $1 and will last more than one session. Perhaps a jar could be put out for donations rather than requiring a payment to attend.

I have heard (rumor, not experience, don't know if it's true but have my suspicions) of instructors for other games only providing training to those that have pre-purchased the "official" rules or pre-paid for attendance. All done outside the rec center and prior to arrival so they can claim that no money changing hands. IF THIS IS TRUE I hope these "training sessions" are shut down too.
