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

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.

Some weeks a mini-lesson is given at 9:00 am.

Check our website to see future dates for ACBL-sanctioned games or mini-lessons.

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

There are four different dates for this session, with different starting times.
