Tournament

The Country Roads Bridge Club annual tournament next year will be held TBD and will again be in the Mojave Room.  Mark your calendars now.  Registration will run from 9:15am to 9:30am and the entry fee is $10.00.  Play will begin promptly at 10:00am and will run until about 2:00pm.  Play will follow a Swiss Pairs format with rubber bridge scoring.  No partner is needed; partners will be (re)assigned after each round of 4 hands. During play a light snack will be provided and door prizes will be awarded. Those wanting to participate must sign up on the sign-up sheet that will be posted on the bulletin board in the Mojave Room sometime in early February 2025.

Bridge Dinner

The Annual Bridge Dinner will be held the evening of Sunday, February TBD, 2025 in the Country Road's Ballroom.  It will be a potluck style dinner.  A good time (and a full belly) will be had by all.  The winners of the Bridge Tournament will be announced and "rewarded" for their efforts.

Notice: General Meeting

We still hope to have a meeting of the Bridge Club sometime in December or the early Spring.   We still do not have a full slate of officers, so In particular we still need to vote on the replacement of several officer positions.   If you are interested in running for office or helping with the tournament let one of the current officers know.
