Play It Forward - Give Back to Peterborough Bridge Club
ACBL is launching Play It Forward a new program which lets you support your club while playing On Line. During ACBL's November and December pilot program, every time you play in a 7:15 pm ET Real Deal game on RealBridge , ACBL will send $3 US to our club.
RealBridge enhances online bridge by incorporating video and audio features; you will be able to see and talk with your partner and opponents, just as in face-to-face bridge. ACBL tracks all our members playing online (through ACBL numbers) and mails us a check each month. If you want to know more, email the Real Deal Team . If you have any questions, contact Birte by phone at 705-313-9742 or email her at birteayer@gmail.com

| Our Duplicate Bridge Games |
The following is a list of our games. If you are a member of our club, the cost to play* is $9.00 per game (or buy a 3-play ticket for $25.00). If you are not a member of our club, costs are 11.00 per play. Coffee/tea is included. Bring a partner and please arrive at least 15 minutes before the game start time to allow our Directors sufficient time to set up the game. * Cash only please.
Regularly scheduled games:
Monday 1:00 PM – There are two games that are offered, which play at the same time. Under 100MP - Both players must have under 100MP. (Generally fewer Boards are played which allows more time for play per Board. Cost for this game is only $6.00 for members and $7.00 for non members.) and an Open game – this game is open to all players
Tuesday 1:00 PM – Two players with under 750MP may play in this game. PBC Board has decided to allow players with over 750MP to play in the Tuesday game as long as they play with a player with UNDER 750MP. The intent of this rule is to allow for mentoring whereby an experienced player is paired with a newer/less experienced player.)
Wednesday 1:00 PM Two games are offered. An Open Game which is open to all players, and an under 300 MP game, where both players must have under 300 MP.
Thursday 1:00 PM Similar to the Tuesday game, at least one of the players must have UNDER 750MP.

| Our Bridge Lessons |
The Peterborough Bridge Club recognizes the important role that bridge lessons play in attracting new members to the game of duplicate bridge and to our club. We have gifted teachers who provide lessons and share their knowledge and time. They are masters of the game and successful teachers of many students, most of whom quickly learn to love the game and become members of the club. Unless otherwise noted , the lessons cost $6.00 per class.
