IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR STUDIO!

August Announcements

Covid and it's variants are in the DFW area and we need everyone to continue to do their part in keeping yourself and others safe. We will continue to offer F2F games at Denton Bridge Studio, along with our Virtual Game schedule. We are doing our best to provide a safe environment but we need you to do your part too. It takes a village to come out for the positive; there are no guarantees but we can certainly try to provide the best, and do our best. Please refresh yourself to the expectations from all who participate in the F2F Games (See Covid Safety Measures below). Everyone is doing great using the RSVP section of our calendar. Also, the Tuesday Game has been changed to a 499 game. We hope to see more of you who qualify, playing in the Tuesday, 499 Game at 10:30.

NAP Games continue throughout August. They are a $1 extra per player but do award Double Red/Black! Check the reservation Calendar for Games and Special Events. In addition, ACBL has given all clubs extra Club Championship Games. These games will be offered at the studio when we do not run NAP games for the month of August and part of September!

VIRTUAL VACATION will be held by ACBL online, August 12 - 15, RED/GOLD! Free Guest Lectures everyday of the tournament!

Did you hear the news?!! Eddie Bigler has agreed to be our
new Assistant Manager and will take over as Manager
after Kim moves! Thanks Eddie for volunteering!

OLD NEWS

Thanks are in order to all the folks who have been supporting Denton Bridge Studio online and now in our transition period of offering games F2F. Both VG and F2F games will be offered for an undetermined time. Any questions about your studio, please feel free to contact a board member or refer to our meeting minutes to view opperating information.

Our goal, as a member owned studio, is to offer not only a game that will exercise your brain, but games that are reasonably priced, fun and competitive in Denton County for all duplicate bridge players. Our staff are volunteers and we are always looking for a few more willing participants to play and volunteer. We are in need of a Facility Manager and a Web Master. For Denton Bridge Studio to continue on, we need our members support by playing in the Virtual Games and F2F Games, and to volunteer. As our neighboring clubs open, and as folks are feeling safer about returning to everyday life, we have noticed a drop in our table count. We can't exist if you don't play. A concern we have as your BOD is that there are many of you whom we haven't seen in the VG or F2F! Where are you? We hope you are well and return to play soon! Maybe you could call someone you know and check-in on them.
