Club Championship Weeks:  June 16th - 19th and June 23rd - June 26th 

Join us for not one but two weeks of additional masterpoints opportunities.  

Notification of Special Meeting: Aurora Bridge Club
 

Date: Wednesday, July 8th, 2026
Time: 11:00 AM
Location: Newmarket Veterans Association (NVA), 406 Millard Ave, Newmarket, ON

Based on your strong feedback, the Board is actively negotiating a lease for our preferred venue.  To keep this momentum and close negotiations without delay, we are proactively planning our next steps. We anticipate that a Special Meeting of the members will soon be needed.  As our Constitution requires two weeks' notice for such a meeting, we are providing this notification now to ensure we can gather without administrative delays. This ensures we can finalize next steps and take immediate action the moment negotiations conclude.

Please accept this message as the official notice for that Special Meeting.

Further details will be provided after we next hear back from the Landlord.

We appreciate your ongoing support and look forward to seeing you there.

On Becoming A Diamond Life Master 

Reminder for All Players 

In an effort to avoid scoring errors, it is the responsibility of all who handle the cards to

• Count your hand before and after the play of the hand to ensure you have 13 cards. 
• North is responsible to ensure the boards are played in the right direction and in the correct order. 
• West is responsible for verifying the scores entered are correct...before pushing the accept button. 
• Only scoring errors reported to the director within the first 24 hours will be adjusted. 
• Any adjustments made need to be verified by players in both directions before a score will be adjusted.   Please take the time to review your scores by checking results on our webpage. 

It's Not Too Late: 

If you missed the membership drive in May, please contact Janice Colangelo, janice.colangelo21@gmail.com.  Directors can also take your membership renewal when you pay for your game fee. 

We are a member owned club and our annual membership fee will remain unchanged at $20.  These fees are directed towards our annual insurance ($1,000 per year) and capital improvements (e.g. our new game computer). 

Thank you for being an Aurora Bridge Club member and building our community of like-minded people encouraging fun, friendship and connection while sharing our passion for this great game of bridge.

      Farewell to Lynn and Preben Schmidt as they make the move to Orillia. 

We are sorry to say goodbye to Lynn and Preben Schmidt, cherished members of the Aurora Bridge Club community for many years. They first played with us at the old Aurora Library and later followed the club to the Legion in Newmarket. Lynn, always the fashion diva, served on the executive and was a familiar face at the tables several times a week.  Preben, the diligent lawyer with the shy smile, joined her on Tuesday nights and always had a gentle word that made everyone feel welcome.
We thank them both for their camaraderie, their kindness and the warmth they brought to our club.

Tuesday nights will not be the same without them. While we will miss seeing them at the bridge table, we are grateful for the memories, the friendship and the friendly competition shared over the years. They will always remain an important part of our club family and we hope they will return for an occasional visit.  

As they begin this new chapter in Orillia, we know the Orillia Bridge Club will welcome them with open arms. Our loss is truly their gain. May every contract be makeable as they continue their bridge journey.  Please keep playing, keep laughing and keep in touch. 

  Our club is a scent free environment.  Please be considerate of your fellow players who may suffer from allergies.
