The VDBC club games are open to all players.  All regular game fees are $4 per person for a Village resident and $6 per person for a guest.  We are a non-smoking club and adhere to the ACBL Zero Tolerance Policy.  The Villages’ Recreation Department requires that all persons must present either a resident or a guest pass to participate in any activities at its recreation centers.   Guest passes can be obtained at any of the Villages’ recreation centers. 

Our web site has a lot of information and you should scroll down the home page first to find out what you want and then click on the special menu buttons to obtain additional information on a specific subject.

We recommend you put Fourth Suit Forcing into your bidding toolbox. Rob Barrington’s video explains 4SF in his usual, easy to understand detail here.
