Welcome

The Summer Season is upon us and many of our players have headed back up North.   We are trying very hard to keep track of all the players that still available to play in the Fort Myers area.   If you have not already filled out a Snowbird form, please do so when you can.

Also, it is important during this time for the health of the club that our players continue to support the club by playing in the Florida Bridge Collection's online games.

Thanks and see everyone again in the fall!

City of Palms Schedule of Online Bridge on BBO
City of Palms Schedule of Online Bridge on BBO

The City of Palms Bridge Club is part of the 20  Florida bridge clubs forming the SE Bridge Collective for Online BBO Games

You can support our bridge club when not playing face to face by signing into bridge base and playing in one of these games.   We receive a portion of the entry fee every time a member plays.   

Put your team together and play in one of the Swiss Team games on Sundays.   

Playing in ACBL, speedball or other club's virtual games returns no moneys to us.   Also do not wait until the last minute to register.  

We realize the lure of playing in the bigger games on BBO, but if everyone keeps sitting and waiting to sign up we will never get these games off the ground.
