SUPERVISED PLAY

            Supervised Play

 

       Thursday mornings  10:00 – 12:00

Supervised play is a program designed to practice what you already know and continue to learn and grow in your game.  Each session begins with a fifteen minute mini lesson – and then each table plays hands at their own pace.   You can ask question at any time, about bidding, play of the hand, defending, bridge etiquette etc.

Come alone, come with a favorite partner or with your regular table of four.   If you arrive alone, we do our best to match up partners with similar skill levels.

Join us for this fun, relaxed program.  The cost is $10 per player.

Any questions?   Contact Kristi Menees     kristimenees@mac.com

2024 Annual Membership Dues

 2024 MEMBERSHIP DRIVE

 As 2023 comes to a close, let’s reflect on the tremendous dedication and efforts of the Board of  Directors, game directors, and many others who have committed so much of their time and  energy to keep our club open for face-to-face play.  They surely have earned our thanks and  appreciation.

 Our table counts are steadily increasing as more and more players are returning to in-person  play.  We now have scheduled games daily, Monday through Friday, and a Swiss Teams game  on one Saturday a month. We recently added a Monday morning game for players with less  than 199 points.  Our popular bridge classes remain well attended, with many joining our club as  new members.

 Dues will remain at $25 per person for 2024.  Membership entitles you to a sense of belonging  to a great group of folks sharing your love of bridge, and a sense of pride and satisfaction for  supporting our mission.  As a member, you will receive regular email updates about special  games and activities at the club. Additionally, you are included in our membership directory and  receive a free play at the Annual Meeting.

 To renew your membership to our club for 2024:

  • Pull your pre-printed application form from the alphabetized file at the club,
  • Make any necessary changes in your contact information, and
  • Enclose cash or your check (payable to HHIBA) and the printed form in the envelope  provided, and give it to the Director.

 If you don't expect to return to the club soon, please send your check by mail to:

 Kathy Wagner

 14 Tall Pines Road

 Hilton Head Island, SC. 29926

 Make sure to include your mailing address, email address and phone number(s) on the check.  If your contact information has changed, please provide the updates.

 Thank you for your continued support.
