All Unit 232 bridge sites are closed due to the COVID - 19 pandemic.  In the meantime, many of our members and other bridge friends in north Alabama are playing bridge online using the Bridge Base Online (BBO) platform.  It is easy to use and even offers some benefits over playing in the club. The games are usually 18 to 24 boards, played at a rate of 7 minutes/board, lasting approximately 2 hours, and they award ACBL black master points. Occasionally we have an opportunity to win red master points. We appreciate the support that our players have given to the Unit 232 virtual games.  Your participation helps to keep our bridge players connected with each other, as well as helping us pay our Directors and other bills during this time that the Unit 232 clubs are closed for face-to-face bridge.  WHERE: www.bridgebase.com COST: $6, just like at the club.

We are trying to build a pictorial directory of our members and pictures will only be viewed in the Members Only area..  We will also be able to show your pair's pictures, and those of your opponents, when you view results.  If you don't have a picture on file and you would like it to be or if you don't like the picture that is posted, you have several options to add one.  If you already have a digital picture, you may post it yourself in your account area when you log in or send it to our webmaster, Kent Kraus (link on Home Page).  If you don't have a digital picture and know someone with a digital camera or smartphone, you can have a picture made and email or text it to Kent.  The final option is you can send a hardcopy picture to Kent.  His address is in the phone directory, which may be viewed in the Membership part of the website.  

Pictures help us get to know the names of other members of the club and make it a more enjoyable experience.  We hope you will choose to participate.  If you do not want to have a picture published, please let Kent know and he will add your name to the do not publish list.
