What’s Happening at TBBC the Week of May 8th

We had a great time at our Saturday, Cinco de Mayo lunch and game this past Saturday.

We look forward to next Saturday’s game directed by Mark Smith.  Mark will be providing lunch prior to the game and your donations will help defray his costs.

Beginning TUESDAY, JUNE 6TH, 1-4 PM, we will have a SUPERVISED GAME, 0-50 points.  If you know anyone who would like to play bridge but is not quite ready to play on their own, please let them know about this new game.  This is also an excellent opportunity for novice players to get help to improve their bidding and declarer play.

UPCOMING SPECIAL EVENTS

SUNDAY, MAY 28th:  SWISS TEAM GAME at 1:30 pm.

MONDAY, MAY 29th:  MEMORIAL DAY GAME at 12:30 and COMPLIMENTARY LUNCH at 12:00.

STAC WEEK:   JUNE 19-25TH

SATURDAY, JUNE 24TH:  THE LONGEST DAY!!  COMPLIMENTARY BREAKFAST AND LUNCH and 2 STAC games at 9:00 AM and 12:30 PM.  Proceeds go to the Alzheimer’s Association.

IMPORTANT REMINDER

PLEASE be considerate and contact your partner to confirm you are playing, prior to coming to the club.  It is very difficult for the directors to fill in for your partner when they are directing a large game.  They have been instructed by the Board of Directors to not play when directing a game greater than 9 tables because it hinders their directing duties.  Thank you!!

On behalf of the Board of Directors we wish you a great week and hope to see you at the club.

  TBBC House Players

NEW: TBBC HOUSE PLAYERS!

The TAMPA BAY BRIDGE CENTER has recently implemented House Players.  There are several benefits of having a House Player:

1-- If you show up to play and your partner has an emergency and cancels at the last minute, you can play with the House Player.

2-- At game time, if there is a half table, the House Player can then play with the Director to prevent sit outs to benefit all of those attending that day.

The House Player always plays for free.  If the House Player does not end up playing, they receive a free play for a future game of their choice.  We currently have volunteers for House Players for all Open Games except for the second and fourth Fridays of the month.  We also have alternate House Players for some days.  If you are interested in being a House Player for the second and fourth Fridays, or being an alternate House Player, please contact Kim Koletic at kkoletic@verizon.net.

Our goal is to provide a pleasant playing experience for all of our members and guests and to enable our Directors to direct the games and ONLY play to prevent sit outs.

We have a regular schedule of games this week including on Saturday, December 31st, which is New Year’s Eve.  On behalf of the Board of Directors we wish you a very HAPPY NEW YEAR and health and happiness and lots of great bridge in 2023!
