| Why join the bridge club? |
Joining the Bridge Club of Houston makes you not only a member but also one of the club owners, so joining gives you a stake in the club's success.
Members have the right to vote for the Club's Board of Directors and run for the board if you so choose.
Members also get the opportunity to play in specially designated "membership games" at a reduced fee, thereby reducing the cost of your membership.
Our club also holds frequent holiday parties, as well as rank up celebrations, with a festive meal as part of the day.
This blog post offers more perspectives on the benefits of joining a local bridge club. https://blog.bridgebase.com/2021/01/16/should-you-join-a-bridge-club/

| WHY YOU NEED A CONVENTION CARD |
You will need a Convention Card to use with each Partner. The ACBL requires that players have a CC with them at every game. How to manage all this?
Two ways:
1. Manual creation
- Print out a blank form or pick one up from the club
- Complete your CC for each Partner
2. Digital creation
- Bridge Winners
- A useful website lets you create, edit and save CC for each pair.
- This digital CC maker is also a 'file keeper' for all your partners and allows you to collaborate to keep your partnership aligned and current.
- This website also is a repository of content for tips on play, blog related to bridge, resource for books and supplies.
- The CCs are printable for use at club and tournament play.

- BBO
- Pairs are required to have a CC to play online.
- You will need to have a BBO Card...they do not allow you to import other CCs.
- PLEASE have your card set to load automatically for each partner.
- Here is one (of many) YouTube videos to provide instruction on BBO cards: https://youtu.be/xL2z4o1XyK4
WORKING WITH YOUR PARTNER ON YOUR CONVENTION CARD IS A GREAT WAY TO IMPROVE YOUR PARTNERSHIP PERFORMANCE AT THE TABLE!
