Our Sympathies

It is with deep sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Yana Headford earlier this week. Yana was 104.  She was an avid bridge player and played at the club on Saturdays until covid.  She was also a wonderful artist and has her own website.  The large picture at the front of the club is one of her paintings.  Her 90th, 95th and 100th birthdays were celebrate at the club with her bridge friends.  There will be a funeral and celebration of life at Glen Oakes Funeral Home, Oakville on Thursday, July 17th, 2025, at 11am. There is also a link to attend virtually for those who can't physically attend. Our thoughts are with her family and friends at this difficult time.

 

Reminder

A couple of reminders:
 

As the summer progresses, we expect some of our Newcomer games will have to be folded into the upper level game.  Please remember to welcome everyone.  All players should be treated with respect, kindness and sensitivity.  It is important that everyone feel welcome.  

If there is a disagreement or misplay at your table, please call the director.  The director is there to help with mediation and resolution of any issues.  Please use them!!

Please be at the club at least 10 minutes before game start time.  This also applies to Virtual games.   The directors have to set up the game and late arrivals may effect the movement in F2F games.

DO NOT buy BBO Bucks on an app as there will be a 30% premium charged. Buy BBO Bucks directly from the BBO website.

All F2F games have the "HOST" feature.  Presently, you can HOST as often as you wish.  All games F2F and Virtual have the "FIND A PARTNER" feature.  For either, just hover over the game in our Calendar and select the respective Icon and take it from there.  Note that you must be a MObridge Member to use either of these features.

  • Please take a moment to look around and clean up after yourselves at the end of your game. The directors and your fellow members will be most appreciative of your efforts.  Thank you.

FIND A PARTNER / HOST Programs

       LOOKING FOR A PARTNER?  Use our FIND A PARTNER Feature       

The FIND A PARTNER Program is for both F2F & Virtual Games.

Follow the Instructions under the "Find a Partner" Tab on our Home Page.

    Note that this feature services MObridge Members only.    

As a Member, you complete the request, and request can only be removed by you.

 

       THE HOST PROGRAM      

The HOST Program for F2F Games is Back - Guaranteed Partners

This program is designed to benefit our members, new players and visitors to find a partner.  This is how it works:   

  • Any Club Member can volunteer to HOST.  One may HOST as often as he or she wishes.  
  • You choose the game and the day that best suits your schedule.
  • To sign up to be a HOST, on our website calendar you can click any game that has “Host Wanted” in the game slot.
  • A window opens and you will need to sign in as a member.  
  • Once you sign in your name will appear on the calendar as the HOST for that game. 
  • On your designated day you will arrive 15-20 minutes prior to game time and be prepared to partner anyone who shows up without a partner.
  • Each "two singles" that show up will be paired up to play together, and if we have only even #s show, they are paired and the HOST goes home.
  • If the HOST is required to play, then they play for free, and if they are not needed they receive a Free Play to be used at another time.

NOTE that this program is for F2F Games only.

If your plans change and you cannot HOST, please let the Club know so that your name can be removed and another has the opportunity to HOST. 

Only the Web Administrator can remove the HOST.
