| COVID, Cold and Flu Season |
With colder weather approaching, the incidence of COVID, Flu and colds is rising. As such we ask that members take care before heading to the Bridge Club. Stay home and limit your contact with others when you are sick or experiencing any COVID, flu or cold symptoms, even if mild. This will help prevent other Club Members from getting sick.
When the risk of exposure is high, some people may choose to wear masks, and others may not. We ask that you remember to be kind, understanding and respectful of people's personal choices.

| 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 Open Game - This game is open to all players.
Thursday 1:00 PM Similar to the Tuesday game, at least one of the players must have UNDER 750MP.
Friday 1:00 PM Open Game – this game is open to all players
Special games:
Saturday Birthday Game - Birthday games are held the second Saturday of each month at 1:00 PM. This is an Open Game. All Bridge Club members with birthdays in the month play for free. Birthday cake and fruit for all!

| 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. .All of our lessons cost $6.00 per class.

| Peterborough Bridge Club Lending Library - Donate a Book, Sign Out a Book |
We are thrilled to announce the launch of our Bridge Book Library! We invite all members to donate/loan any bridge books they no longer use, whether they are for beginners, intermediates, or experts. Please ensure that books on bidding conventions are relatively recent; books on play of the hand or defense can be of any vintage.
June Young has kindly offered to lead this initiative. She will develop a list of the books in the library and maintain a sign-out sheet. If you have books that you want to loan out (i.e. you want them returned to you) but are happy to share them, June will ensure they are returned. If you have books for this library, please see June. Members can sign out books using the sheet provided. Happy reading!
