Now is the time to take advantage of that achievement. Please register as soon as possible! Registration closes on November 14 — less than two weeks away.
This is your opportunity to represent District 2 at a national event: successful pairs at the District Final can advance to the NABC Final in Dallas in Spring 2027.
Even if you don't plan to attend the NABC, there's plenty to play for at the District Final itself. Strong finishes can earn significant Masterpoint awards, even with a small field. For players in Flights B and C, that includes valuable GOLD points!
Need a partner? Browse the District 2 list of qualifiers to find someone who qualified for the same flight as you. Both partners must have qualified for the flight in which they register.

Register today! The deadline for registration and payment is November 14.

| Mondays With Ken |
Starting Monday, November 2, as part of his weekly sessions, Ken will be presenting 2/1 topics.
Take 5 with Ken runs from 2:00-4:00pm. For the next 12 weeks, Ken will allot an hour to introduce a component of the 2/1 system. That still leaves time to review difficult hands and other challenging play and defense problems.
You can see the course outline and schedule here:
Take 5 with Ken is well-suited to players who want a challenge and are interested in growing their game through interaction and study. If you’ve been struggling with 2/1 or are serious about improving your understanding of the 2/1 system, this could be for you.
The Club will offer a complete and comprehensive 2/1 training course in 2027.

| New beginnings - Same expectations |
The Bridge Club: Aurora Newmarket strives to provide a pleasant, friendly environment for all players to enjoy the game of duplicate bridge. We adhere to the general principles of bridge etiquette and codes set by the Canadian Bridge Federation (CBF) and American Contract Bridge League (ACBL). Expected Behavior: Anything that makes bridge more enjoyable for others.
1. Greeting others in a friendly manner at the start of each round.
2. Being a good “host” or “guest” at the table.
3. Making available two clearly completed convention cards.
4. When calling the Director, please remember to ask nicely. “Director, please.”
5. Respect your Director, opponents, and partner.
Let's all do our best to make this "New" club outstanding!
