Mentor Nights are Back: Starting Monday September 10th we will be holding Mentor Games on the first Monday of every month. Mentor nights will include a reduced number of hands (usually 18-21) so that Mentors can offer advice to Mentees on the bidding and play of the hand if so desired. One member of each pair must have less than 400 Mpts. If you would like to be a Mentor and/or get a Mentee and are having difficulty finding a partner please contact Murray at 942-2896.

In order to avoid disappoinment be sure to arrange your partner(s) well in advance for these special games: 

SEP 10: MENTOR NIGHT & CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP (Contact Murray if you'd like a Mentor or Mentee. Lots of MPts tonight)

SEP 10 - 14: CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP WEEK (Lots of MPts) 

OCT 01: MENTOR NIGHT & CLUB APPRECIATION GAME (Lots of Mpts)

OCT 01 - 05: CLUB APPRECIATION WEEK (Lots of MPts)

Any Time Your RHO Makes a Skip Bid: 

• DO NOT BID RIGHT AWAY!!! 
• Take a deep  breath,
• Think... about what you are going to bid with your bidworthy hand, OR think about how crappy your lousy hand is,
• Then... either bid, or pass.

NEW BOOK: "Bridge: Thinking Outside the Box". As the name suggests, this is an excellent book on how to expand your thinking about bidding and playing the weird hands that inevitably come up in every game. Although this book contains a lot of topics for advanced bridge players and partnerships, novices with more than a year of playing under their belt can also learn a lot by studying this book.
