Bridge events starting this week
I'm planning to wrap up online bridge classes for this season with a
class *starting tomorrow* on *Play of the Hand* for eight weeks. I still
have a few seats available for that class — if you're interested let me
know quickly! (If you'd like to join mid-series, you're welcome as well.
Drop me a note.)
I'm also inviting everyone to a free social duplicate bridge game on
Tuesday, March 23. We'll hold games on the following four Tuesdays as
well, for $9/game or $30 for all four.
Free Social Bridge Game this Tuesday Evening
I'm offering five relaxed bridge games on Tuesday evenings, 7:00-9:15,
using the remarkable RealBridge <https://realbridge.online/> platform
from the UK. Here we play with full audio and video of our table mates.
It's the closest thing that I've seen to a real bridge game at home with
friends!
Our expected players are all newer players and students from my classes
this year. You should see lots of familiar faces. This is not
specifically a /supervised play/ game, but I hope to have one or two
experienced players who can help with bridge decisions. (/If that would
be you, drop me a note!/)
*Since RealBridge is an unfamiliar platform, I want to give everyone an
opportunity to try it out free on the first Tuesday evening.
Reservations are still required, so drop me a note if you'd like to join
the game!*
After each game, we'll gather on Zoom to discuss bidding and play. We
can compare with the other tables in the game, and I'll offer my
perspective on many of the hands. The deals will be random shuffles, so
even I don't know what to expect!
* Five Tuesday evenings, Check in at 7:00 , game running 7:15 - 9:15,
March 23 - April 20.
* First game free! $9 for a single session, $30 for the remaining four
* No director, no masterpoints, no pressure!

table from Shark Bridge. The target audience is brand new bridge
players, but even players with significant experience will find valuable
tools for their declarer play.
* Eight Sunday afternoons, March 21 through May 9, 3:00 - 4:30 p.m.
* $150 for the full eight week course ($25 individual lessons)

Bridge cruise to Barcelona 2022
I'm joining Karol and Guy Monroe for a 14-night cruise departing Miami
on April 5, 2022. The ship is the Regent Seven Seas Splendor.
The bridge program includes a full ACBL Silver-point Sectional at Sea,
with great games and classes to level up your bridge skills.
The available staterooms for the bridge package are bound to go quickly
with everyone eager to get out of the house. Visit the 2022 Miami
Barcelona cruise page here
<https://www.monroetravelconnect.com/2022-miami-barcelona.html> for lots
more information, and to reserve your room as soon as you can!
Competitive Bidding (PCC)
The Competitive Bidding class from Audrey Grant offers what I believe is
the most powerful set of tools available for advancing club and
tournament bridge players.
I'm offering this class through PCC Extension on Tuesday evenings
starting on April 27.
Space in this class is limited and I expect it to fill quickly! Register
through PCC Extension at this link.

Saturday mini lessons 9:30
We're still busy playing and teaching bridge online! Take advantage of
my weekly Saturday morning bridge mini lessons. I cover a single topic
in 15 minutes.
You can join in person on Zoom
<https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83912578991?pwd=Y1R2UnJ1TFM2dVZzYmsyTDdzeFcydz09>,
or have a look at previous topics on my YouTube channel playlist
<https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLD5qT1hFf-OreW5_zBRHB3WwF6Ljdp-OS>.
We also have games for new bridge players every Wednesday evening and
Saturday afternoon. If you'd like to join the game, contact me or join
our notification email list
<https://mailman.bridgemojo.com/postorius/lists/newcomers.bridgemojo.com/>.
I'll send a note before every game.
What happens this summer?
Jane is expecting her second vaccination shot soon, and I'm looking
forward to scheduling mine as soon as I can.
I'm expecting many of you will be making plans to scatter to the four
corners of the globe this summer! Jane and I are doing the same.
After Memorial Day, I won't be scheduling any new formal bridge classes
until fall.
(The Saturday mini lessons might continue though!)
