Two New Games Wednesday Afternoons at 1:00 pm

Starting Wednesday, October 26th at 1:00 pm there will be two new games offered weekly at the club:

- "Just Play Bridge" - a non-sanctioned scored game. This game is geared for those players (members and non-members) that want a fun and relaxed shortened game of duplicate bridge, and are not interested in playing in ACBL sanctioned games.

- A new ACBL sanctioned 199er pairs game.

We guarantee you a partner for both games so do not hesitate to come alone and make some new friends!

The 49er Game is Back with a Twist

Starting in November every 1st, 3rd and 5th Wednesday evening there will be a 49er pairs game. Every 2nd and 4th Wednesday evening there will be a 99er pairs game. Maggie will be directing and guaranteeing a partner. Come early for a free lesson from Maggie at 6:30 pm.
