Rod will continue giving short bridge lessons at noon on the first Thursday of each month. October lesson will be a quick version of New Minor Force and November will be on Responding to Partner. The December lesson will cover 6 different NT opening bids you can make and why they are very useful.
All players are responsible for playing at the correct table and side. North is responsible for checking that the boards are correct with the Bridgemates.
The Tuesday night game will start at 6pm (eating in the bridge room is allowed, but facilities are limited). The Monday game will start at 12:30. All Senior Center games will be held at the lower building at 4125 Cox Court. Parking is on Cox Court, with a few places (including handicapped parking) in the rather small parking lot.
We will have three more STaC games in November - the 10th ($4), the 11th ($3). and the 13th ($5). There will be no game on Thanksgiving. Information on our Christmas party on December 11 will be sent to your email soon.
Dave (307 630-1955) started free Easy Bridge lessons at the Senior Center in Sept. on Mondays and Tuesdays (you can call him for detailed information).
The cost for Thursday games is $5 for each player, including the club championship games and Eight is Enough Team games. Some special games with extra points (STaC, NAP. GNT, and Charity) may cost everyone extra $. Costs for the games at the Senior Center will initially be $2 on Tuesday and $3 on Monday - likely more for some special games.
It is important to show up at least 10 minutes before game time, or have a partner there by then, so we can know how to set up the game. Players who are late may not be allowed to play! Please turn off ringing on your cell phones while playing! If you need to use your phone, please go outside the playing area and not be a distraction to others.
Food will not normally be provided by the unit. Water/coffee will be available. Goodies baked by players are always welcome at our games. Everyone is expected to help putting away bridge supplies and card tables/chairs, etc. after each game.
All game results will be posted on ACBL Live shortly after the game is completed. Knights of Columbus bar (Casey's Club) opens at 4pm – players are encouraged to socialize there after the Thursday game.
