Lots more ACBL bridge for you!
by Morris Jones 26 May '21

26 May '21

With my impending vacation, I wanted to let you all know that there are still lots of ACBL duplicate bridge games for you! I believe the Saturday Newcomer game will stay on the calendar in June (I'll let you know as soon as I can), but there are also games available Monday through Thursday evenings. See the attached flier for the All Western 99er Nite Club. There are games for players with fewer than 20 masterpoints, and fewer than 100 points as well. Each game is followed by a post-game discussion hosted by a great bridge teacher. (I'll be offering to host some as well when I'm back in town.) If you haven't already received an invitation to play, send an email to 99erniteclub(a)gmail.com and we'll work on getting you into the games. (If you don't yet have a free ACBL guest membership, here's information on how to get your own player number: https://bridgemojo.com/acbl-guest-memberships ) Best regards, Mojo -- Morris Jones, Monrovia, CA BridgeMojo <http://bridgemojo.com> Old Town Sidewalk Astronomers <http://otastro.org> Mojo's Blog <http://mojo.whiteoaks.com>

Looking for single players ...
by Morris Jones 22 May '21

22 May '21

I'm looking for one player for the Newcomer game this afternoon ... I'm also looking for one local player who'd like to come play some in-person bridge and pizza at my house this afternoon. Is there a fully vaccinated single or a pair available to come play in Monrovia? Game at 4:00, pizza, then a little more bridge.

Saturday morning mini lesson and afternoon Newcomer game
by Morris Jones 21 May '21

21 May '21

Saturday at 9:30 a.m., continuing on defensive play, focusing on second hand play: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83912578991?pwd=Y1R2UnJ1TFM2dVZzYmsyTDdzeFcydz09 Meeting ID: 839 1257 8991 Passcode: 7ntxx Previous Saturday mini lessons are available on this YouTube playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLD5qT1hFf-OreW5_zBRHB3WwF6Ljdp-OS And Saturday at 12:20, our regular newcomer duplicate game. No after party, but we play the same hands as the Open game that starts at 12:30. There's a great opportunity to compare your bidding and play with the more experienced players. I have a few pairs already signed up. Send me a note if you'd like to play. Let me know if you'd like me to find you a partner. I often have a single player looking.
