Welcome To Our Friendly Club

Welcome to the Leland Duplicate Bridge Club. We strive to make our games very friendly and newcomers to duplicate are always welcome. Our games start on time, use a clock, utilize Bridgemates, provide a partner if requested by an email, and generally have a non-playing director. Our club takes maximum advantage of the many special games permitted by the ACBL. We are a Zero Tolerance club. This website is generally updated with game results and hand records within an hour of each game. Our web address is www.lelandbridge.com.

Club Manager Messages

2/17/20 ♠ Annual Membership Dues for 2020 are now being collected. The $20 fee is optional. Players who elect to become members for 2020 will receive a $1 discount for every game they play. To receive the discount players must be members for the March games. Non-members are welcome to play but will not receive the discount.

2/1/20 ♥ As you know, we schedule as many games as allowed by the ACBL to be Special Games awarding triple points at no extra cost to our players. When the Club hosts a special game, we must pay additional fees to the ACBL or the sponsored charity. To remain viable, we require a minimum of 5 full tables to break even for Special games and this was a problem for our Thursday game. Happily, Thursdays table count has been improving in recent weeks.

We will continue to schedule special games whenever possible on Thursdays and if there are at least 5 tables we will run the Special Game. However, if there are less than 5 full tables we will have to run a regular game. We hope that the table count improves on Thursdays so all of those games can continue to be special games awarding triple points.

Congratulations to our Recent Rank Achievements

Game Fees & Membership

♠ Most of our games are Special Games and award masterpoints at about 3 times what regular club games award. Our club does not charge extra for these special games. More masterpoints are awarded and there is no extra fee added to the cost of a regular game. All of our games have three strata.

♥ Member entry fee is $8 and non-member is $9.

♦ You do not need be a member to play in our club. However, the Leland Bridge Club offers players an opportunity to join our club by paying an annual membership fee of $20. Members receive a $1 discount from the game fee at every game they play.

♣ We ask members and guests to have the correct change and to please pay for yourself and your partner. This helps the check-in process go faster and helps the game start on time.

♠ We have a great relationship with the Magnolia Greens Golf Course and we believe our venue is the best place to play that we have seen. We would like to thank Blossoms Restaurant and Magnolia Greens Golf Course for allowing us to use their facilities. If you are thinking of holding an event, please consider the Banquet Room at the Magnolia Greens Golf Course.
