I agree that the second paragraph would be great to include with the class announcement. I nix the paying suggestion. She is not a beginner and will still be distracting and putting her 2 cents worth in. I signed up a couple years ago for a beginning bridge class. The teacher was a volunteer. Well, there were several students in the class who had played bridge a few years before. They kept interrupting the teacher and overriding what she was saying. She did it for two weeks and then quit. Those non-beginners did it belong there!
