Do you want to make new friends?  

Then join the FREE Bridge class beginning:

  • Tuesday April 22nd, at 9:30 AM, at the French Broad Community Center, 281 East French Broad Street, Brevard, NC  28712.  June Patton will teach the two-hour classes every Tuesday morning for 10 weeks. 

Pre-registration is required.

Who should take this class?  It is appropriate for:

  • People wishing to improve their game.  

Bridge has changed a lot in the last 40 years.  You will learn the newest methods of bidding and playing.

The first class will start at the most basic level, proceed through opening bids and responses to opening bids, and will include the Stayman Convention and Jacoby Transfers.  You will learn some basic defensive techniques and some basic playing techniques.  We will be piloting a brand new book, and all materials will be provided free of charge.

Pre-registration is required.  You can pre-register HERE.

New Reservation Policy for Thursday and Friday Duplicate Games

We have made some changes to our reservation policy for our Thursday and Friday duplicate games.  While we welcome everyone, we will be giving priority to our long-time players.    Please see below.  

  1. Reservations will open for Brevard Bridge Club (BBC) members 14 days before the day of the game.  BBC members will have exclusive reservation access for ten days, until 12:01 AM three days before the game.  BBC members can continue to make reservations right up until game time.
  2. A Brevard Bridge Club member is defined as anyone who has played in one of our games before June 30, 2024 - about seven months ago, OR has played in one of our face-to-face games at least 20 times.
  3. Non-members can email June (junepatton@gmail.com) one week before the game to request a reservation.  Non-members may not make reservations through the website.  June will add them manually starting the morning three days before the game.
  4. The game will be limited to no more than 14 tables total for both sections on Friday and 12 tables for both sections on Thursday.
  5. Reservations will be held until 10 minutes before game time.
  6. Anyone who does not show up for a game without cancelling their reservation before game time will receive a warning the first time, and have their reservation privileges suspended for two weeks the second time.

We are not requesting reservations for Tuesdays  even though you will see a reservation icon on the calendar for that day.  

Instructions for how to do make a reservation are below. 

Please note that while you must be a BBC member to make a reservation,  you DO NOT need to login to do so.  

To make a reservation:

  1. Click on the Calendar link in the menu to the left (or click HERE).
  2. Click on the date of the game for which you would like to make a reservation.  Reservations may be made up to two weeks in advance.
  3. Click on the Reservation Required link at the bottom of the popup window.  
  4. You will see the current list of reservations.  Enter your email address, ACBL number, or name (exactly as it appears on the website) and then click the Check button.  Your email address will tend to work best here.
  5. Enter your partner's name (and direction, if desired), and then click Add Reservation.button.
  6. That's it!  You're done.

If you need to cancel your reservation, you can repeat steps 1 - 5.  Your existing reservation will be displayed, and you can click the Remove button at the bottom of the popup window.  Please cancel your reservation on the website.  Do not contact June to do it.

Reservations will be held until 10 minutes before game time.
