We are organized as a member owned, not for profit bridge club.  Our mission is to provide a venue for our members to enjoy a friendly game of duplicate bridge at a fair cost in a pleasant environment.  We also offer bridge lessons for new players and lessons for existing players desiring to improve their skills.

 CLUB TEMPORARILY CLOSED  We are closed for air conditioning repairs. Regrets for the inconvenience, and we will reopen as soon as possible. Keep an eye on this page and watch for Manager Memo emails.

 Bridge Lessons for Fall 2024  

John Dickenson will be presenting a brand new 12–week course on Tuesday mornings from 10–11:30 AM beginning Sept. 17. The series will be based on Larry Cohen's 12 Conventions Everyone Should Know. Larry believes that players would be better off playing a few conventions WELL versus many conventions POORLY. Each lesson will cost $20 cash at the door – no preregistration is necessary. The preliminary schedule begins with:

9/17 Stayman and Jacoby Transfers
9/24 Unusual 2NT and Michaels cuebids
10/1 Systems over the opponents' Strong NT

Click here to view the full announcement, including a thought-provoking quiz on Stayman and Jacoby Transfers to demonstrate the value of the first lesson.

 Expert Deal Analysis  Diamond Life Master Mark Henderson is offering expert analysis of deals played at the club that involve advanced topics. This addition to our website should be of interest to all levels of players. Most recent analyses can be reached from the main menu with the Deal Analysis Button. Archived material can also be accessed at left under the main menu. Mark is also giving in-person expert reviews of selected hands on Thursdays after the Open Game. He fields and answers questions with an emphasis on commonly encountered themes in bidding, declarer play, and defense. Conversation will center on advancing and intermediate players. 

Recent hand analysis includes:

Board 2 Sunday, May 12  “Not for the Feint of Heart”
Board 9 Tuesday, May 21 “The Law, Again”
Board 5 Thursday, May 23 “Here We Go Again”
Board 6 Friday, May 24 "How Do you Know?"

 Additional Saturday Section for Advancing Players 

We have added a separate section to our Saturday game for players with no more than 20 masterpoints if the number of players is sufficient. Winners in the 0–500 section will get masterpoint awards based on the total number of tables in play in both sections.

 Points and Pointers  Join us on Wednesdays for Points and Pointers, a real duplicate game designed for beginning and advancing players. The game is limited to players with 0–50 ACBL Masterpoints. Each table will play the same boards at the same time, and the leader of the session will discuss each board immediately after it is played. The table fee is $15, and the game will run from 12 Noon to 3 PM. Register by emailing the Club at kopbridgeclub@gmail.com or call 610–232–2250. You can also register in person at the Director's desk.

 Free Mini–Lessons  Our popular Friday and Saturday Mini–Lessons are regular weekly events. Rex Saffer presents selected topics in offensive and competitive bidding, declarer play, and defensive principles from 9:20–9:50 AM (please note change in time!) before the Friday Come Out and Play session and again before the Saturday 0–500 Limited game. Conversation will focus on fundamentals and is directed toward advancing and intermediate players.

Rex maintains an online repository of the handouts distributed at lessons. Click here to view or download these documents.

 Come Out And Play  Just getting started with bridge? Join us on Friday mornings from 10–11:30 am for a relaxed session of bridge. There will be no scoring, no masterpoints, and no pressure! – for only $10 per person. Come on out and drop in, no commitment or advance registration needed, and singles are welcome! Mentors will be available to answer any questions that may arise. This is a fun way to improve your bidding and play while meeting other advancing players.
