HOSTS NEEDED

We need YOU as a host at your favorite game.  All games are in need of hosts, and the respective directors would appreciate having you on the host schedule.  Check with the directors of the games in which you are interested in hosting, and let them know you want to volunteer.  (Game hosts need to arrive a little earlier and be prepared to play with a person they have not met or played with before. Hosts are allowed a free play, and in the event a host is not needed that day the free game may be applied later.)

Brew ha ha?

Director Bonnie is brewing up a bewitching Halloween Party on Saturday 10/29. Social time/BYOB/witch's brew begins at 5 with hellishly hot soups and stews at 5:30 p.m. Club Championship game begins at 6:30 with frightful cards. Costumes are encouraged with a prize on the line. Let your inner devil (or angel!) out and come be spooked at the BDBC! Because of tournaments and holidays, it's probably our last Saturday Night Special until New Year's Eve. A signup sheet is posted at the club. And if you need Halloween costumes or decorations, consider getting them at Amazon Smile: #StartWithaSmile at smile.amazon.com/ch/63-0833746 to stock up for Halloween and Amazon donates to Birmingham Duplicate Bridge Club.

!! Learn Bridge in a Day !!

Coming to Birmingham:

Learn Bridge in a Day on Saturday, January 21 from 10-4.   This successful new program has been getting rave reviews for generating new bridge players.   Participants come for a day and learn the rudiments of playing this card game we love.   The event is followed up with classes, play, and eventually a new game.   We need the whole club's participation to make this day a big success for BDBC.   EVERYONE needs to participate in some way:   inviting a friend to come, helping with registration the day of the event, distributing fliers to other places and organizations, serving lunch for the participants, putting the word out in your social media circle, being a table helper for the new players during the class.   We're making a Learn Bridge in a Day "Corner" near the half glass front door in front of the duplimate room.   You'll find signup sheets for the different areas where you can participate and we'll be adding information every week.   The countdown is at 13 weeks until the big day so make your plans NOW on what you can do to make Learn Bridge in a Day the very best possible!
