* Regional Master (100 MPs) - Freda Yocum

Upcoming Special Events

The Harrisburg Bridge Club is introducing a new Friday afternoon limited point game on a trial basis to give our 0-2500 players an opportunity to compete with players of like point totals. The initial 0-2500 game will be offered on Friday January 9th at 12:30 PM, and this game will run concurrently with the 0-750 game. These will be two separate games being played at the same time, and the games will NOT be combined.

January 0-750 Swiss Winners
January 0-750 Swiss Winners

Here are the winners from HBC's January Swiss 0-750 game.  Congratulations to Gerald Skurcenski, Connie Foster, Ziyana Khan and Ray Rizzo. Also, it was really nice to see three full teams of new players giving Swiss a try for the first time.  Playing Swiss can be a bit tricky initially and the newer players navigated it well.  Hope to see them again next month.

HBC's Newest Friday Game
HBC's Newest Friday Game

Harrisburg Bridge Club started a new 0-2500 MP game that will be held on Fridays in January. It will run along side the current 0-750 MP game and not be combined with it. It is a good opportunity to come and play for  those who have recently paired up with our new Mentor/Mentee program. Pictured above are the 6 tables that came to play on a recent Friday. Come out and support this game!
