Just a quick reminder to please sign up for our Milestones event by Friday 23rd if you plan to attend. All are welcome as we celebrate your fellow club member’s accomplishments. If you plan to play in the Open Game following the Milestones event that is a separate event and you should also sign up for that.

The information presented in the lessons taught by Tom at Supervised Play in 2024-25 has been typed up, printed as a booklet and is now available for purchase. Cost will be $10. These will be available at the Supervised Play sessions starting Monday 19th. Bring along extra cash and get yours soon. They are well worth it!
See you at the club!

| A Little Bridge Humour to brighten your day!! |
I played bridge with . . . . . .
- a guy who delivered the mail. He was particularly interested in post-mortems.
- a dentist. It was like pulling teeth.
- with a lawyer. Couldn't wait to get to the bar.
- with a chiropractor. He got all bent out of shape.
- a magician. He made our chances of winning disappear.
- with a chef. It was a recipe for disaster.
- a hockey player. Thin ice all the way.
- a choreographer . It was a beautifully orchestrated defeat.
- a botanist. Our partnership was in full bloom.
- a pianist. We hit a sour note.
- a geologist.Our wins were rock-solid.
- a surgeon. Our play was a cut above.
- a travel agent. What a trip!
- a psychologist. Never mind!
- a librarian. She found the club too noisy.
- an architect. It was a blueprint for disaster.
- a firefighter. He was half lit.
- a baker. We didn't knead anything.
- a meteorologist. The forecast was gloomy.
- a veterinarian. We had a "ruff" time.
- a journalist. The story didn't have a happy ending.
- a physicist. Our momentum was lost.
- a scientist. The experiment failed.
- a historian. We didn't learn from our mistakes.
- an engineer. Our bridge collapsed.

Annual Milestones Event
All club members are invited to attend our annual Milestones Celebration on Monday May 26th from noon to 1:00pm. During the past year we have had several club members achieve significant Milestones in their bridge journeys and we will celebrate these accomplishments. Brian Shortall will MC the event and lunch time food will be served. Everyone is welcome, however we ask that you please sign up on the website for the event by Friday May 23rd so we can order enough food. This is our Academy Awards event so please feel free to dress accordingly. Our regular Open Pairs event will follow the celebration.
Other Games
There will also be Club Championship games on May 19th, with IMP scoring, May 22nd and May 26th with MP scoring. These games award above average points to those that achieve greatness, it could be you. Our regular Open Games, Duplicate Light and Supervised play will continue throughout May, our last Supervised Play session for the summer will be held June 2nd.
Our Wednesday trial game didn’t work out so well so that game is canceled until further notice.
Thanks for your support and please sign up for Milestones if you’re planning to come.
See you at the club!
