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.

 2026 Membership Drive 

Our 2026 membership drive begins Tuesday, 11/11 before the game. Natalie Weinstein and John Dickenson are collecting dues, $20 cash or check. New members will be fully paid for the balance of 2025 and all next year. What are the advantages?

1. Save $2 on open game card fees, which are $12 for members, $14 for non members. For other games,

2. For special games like Pro Am games which sell out, priority for Ams will be members first, then non members.
3. If games sell out, players will be seated in this order: Players with reservations, Members without reservations, Non–members without reservations.
4. Support your club's efforts in the community, such as donations to the food bank, backpacks for needy school children, and support for the libraries that aid us in attracting new players to the game we love.

 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 0–100 ACBL Masterpoints. Each table will play the same boards at the same time, and the session host will discuss each board immediately after it is played. The table fee is $15, and the game will run from 12 Noon to 3:15 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.

Lessons take place from 9:20–9:50 AM before the Friday Come Out and Play session (Ellen Luchette) and before the Saturday 0–500 Limited game (Rex Saffer). Conversation will focus on fundamentals and is directed toward advancing and intermediate players.

Rex and Ellen maintain separate online repositories of handouts distributed at lessons. Click here for Rex or here for Ellen to view or download these documents.
