 The KCBC is adding an ACBL-sanctioned bridge game on occasional Wednesday mornings.

The next one is Wednesday December 10 from 9:00 am to noon and is a silver-point game.

These games are free if you have never played at the KCBC before.

Most weeks our Wednesday morning session will be a non-ACBL-sanctioned mentor game.

Check our website to see future dates for Wednesday ACBL-sanctioned games.

The ACBL is offering a free one hour "Introduction to Bridge" session for beginners.

There are four different dates for this session in December.
