| 2020 Educational Class Schedule |
The upcoming class schedule for the Tuesday morning educational classes at the O’Dell recreation center is now available. To view the schedule for classes that are being presented for intermediate players between now and the end of May 2020, please go to the Education menu link to the left and click on 2020 Winter Spring Class Schedule.
Note that we highly recommend two things if you are considering attending any of these Sessions.
First of all, the maximum benefit will be obtained if you attend with a partner. Bridge is NOT a solo game and it is essential that wherever possible both you and a playing partner learn together.
Secondly, we are building in this year what we regard as a most valued aspect to all we are trying to teach. That is, for every topic, there will be a following Workshop where what you are taught will be re-visited, worked with, and made more clear in context. We strongly urge you to consider that both the class and the workshop should be regarded as one and that whenever possible you do your very best to attend both.

| BridgeWebs App |
BridgeWebs is the company our club uses to host our web site. Are you aware there is an app available for both iPhone and Android which allows you to view results and club news directly on your phone? Also, if you are a Snowbird and your home club also uses BridgeWebs, you can set up both clubs and have all the information for both in one place. The app does cost as small amount ($3) but is well worth it. Give it a try!
