On the AFTERNOON of Thursday October 31st there will be a regular pairs game at our club where pairs can win Gold. The Thursday October 31st evening game is cancelled so we can hold this special ACBL-wide Thursday October 31st AFTERNOON Gold Point game starting at 1:00 PM.

We're hoping for a big turnout.

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

OCT 21-25: STaC WEEK (District-wide) (SILVER MPTs)

OCT 31: INSTANT MATCHPOINT GAME (GOLD MPTs, Thursday AFTERNOON Game)

NOV 4: MENTOR NIGHT (Bridge tips from Bill Purnis)

NOV 4-8: CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP WEEK (Big MPTs)

RELATIVELY NEW BOOK: "Playing 2/1 The Rest of the Story". For those who want to add modern sophistication to their 2/1 bidding. Here, at last, Paul Thurston delivers the long awaited followup to his ABTA 2003 Book of the Year - 25 Steps to Learning 2/1. This followup book describes an understandable and playable version of todays 2/1, something that has been missing from the literature until now.

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.

Arrive Early Please: In order to start each game on time please make sure that at least one member of your partnership/team arrives at least 15 minutes before the start of the game. Thank you.
