Newcomers game tonight 7:15
by Morris Jones 21 Apr '21

21 Apr '21

Wednesday is the evening for our sanctioned ACBL game for newer players to bridge. We play 12 hands in the space of about 90 minutes on Bridge Base Online (BBO). After the game, we have a little after-party on Zoom for anyone interested. I'll go over a few interesting hands and we can laugh or cry over the results. :) I frequently have single players looking for friendly partners. Might that be you? There's plenty of space, but I do take reservations for this game. *Please drop me a note* if you'd like to play! Later today I'll post a list of players I'm expecting.
