PARKING !  

During the day, the parking in the public lot across from the Trinity Church is limited to 3 hours and then it’s ticket time.  Evenings do not have this restriction.  There is parking at the funeral home whenever there is not a service and you can also park in the Veterans lot and walk from there. Parking is also available on the east side of Main Street at the Community Centre where the old tennis club was located. You can then walk up the steps to Main Street and cross Main Street to the Church.

Meet Our Newest Rookie Master and Her Coach, Dave Conte 
Denise Harcourt is just one of our recent Beginner Bridge graduates and a member of the Tuesday afternoon Supervised Duplicate.  As are they all, Denise is keen and working hard to move along in the game.  Thank you to Dave Conte and Anna Kennedy who have offered their support to the group of beginners.   The Supervised Groups, Tuesday afternoon and evening, are taking the next step by joining the Thursday Afternoon 0 - 20 Supervised Game.   Please help them feel welcome!  
 
From the President:
The Aurora Bridge Club is planning on producing a promotional video for the club, with words of wisdom/encouragement from its players on why the club is the place to learn and play bridge.  If you have something you would like to voice about the club, please let us know.  

For example:  

  • Why do you play bridge? 
  • Why do you play at the Aurora Bridge Club? 
  • What are the benefits of playing in a duplicate club? 
  • Have you taken lessons here and if so when and why? 
  • If you have joined in the Supervised Play how has it changed your game? 
  • Is the club friendly?  
  • Recount a funny episode. 

We are reaching out to you for help.  Please do not hesitate to jot things down and send them along.
