The Peace Arch Duplicate Bridge Club is  ABCL sanctioned and is a non-profit organization.  

All are welcome.

For the month of May 2024 we are going to give the “C” players a bonus with something called;

7 May- top  "C" pair (N/S)  was Craig Dunning and Nancy Carruthers and (E/W) Linda Palm and Karen Inglis. 

Beat the Pro

All “C” players that score higher than the “PRO TEAM” will win $10 .  Winners must also attend the following week in order to claim their prize.  ***Note*** The pair can be a mix of all ranks but only the “C” player will qualify for the prize.

If there is no “C” player that beats the “PRO TEAM”,  then there will be a $10 prize for the highest ranking “C” pair in each direction (N/S and E/W).  If it is a Howell movement then the top two “C” pairs.  The winners must also attend the following week to claim their prize. ****Note*** The pair must both be classed as “C” players.

A “C” player is rated as under 1000 MP and a nonlife master. 

The “PRO TEAM” will be designated by the director of the day before the game starts.

Upcoming dates
