Some exciting bridge news

Yes it's true that classes for new players are starting up again in September, through PCC Extension. But there's something else!

Special screening of Double Dummy

I've arranged for a screening of the bridge documentary Double Dummy by filmmaker John McAllister.

The screening will be at Laemmle's Playhouse 7 theater on Colorado Blvd., Tuesday, Sept. 18, at 7:30 p.m.

I loved seeing the film (twice!) last summer in Toronto, and I'm delighted to get to share it with folks here in Pasadena. I'm hoping the filmmaker will join us for some Q&A after the screening.

You can see the trailer and arrange for tickets to the screening by visiting the event page on Tugg.com here, or visit BridgeMojo.com for more information.

Bridge Basics 1 & 2, Fall 2018

This fall I begin anew with two series of classes from Audrey Grant's acclaimed Better Bridge series.

In September and October, I'll feature Bridge Basics 1 - An Introduction on six Wednesday evenings starting September 5.

Bridge Basics 2 - Competitive Bidding will follow shortly after, starting on October 24 for six Wednesdays.

Bridge Basics 1 is the starting course for brand new bridge players. We'll learn the mechanics of the game by tracing its origins through whist and auction bridge to the modern game of contract bridge. We'll learn how to analyze a hand for the best contract, and practice bidding and playing.

If you are already a regular club player, you will especially enjoy the Competitive Bidding series. This class will help you both find your own great contracts and make mayhem of the opponents' auctions. It's all about getting the best score for your partnership.

Enroll online at PCC Extension. Here are the links:

Or call PCC Extension at (626) 585-7608.

Each course is $75 plus $10 for the book. Classes are held at Arcadia High School from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. Our classroom is very close to lots of on-campus parking.

Monday Night Bridge Game

The Monday night duplicate game for non-Life Masters continues to be a big hit! We've been enjoying this regular shortened weekday evening game -- we play 14 boards instead of the usual 25-27 for a full-length game.

At the end of each game, we gather for an informal postmortem to look over difficult hands, or discuss a bidding, play, or defense topic.

This is the place to be to get comfortable with all of the trappings of modern bridge club play and tournaments. Find out all about it on BridgeMojo.com.

Audrey Grant Bridge Festivals

Last January, I was invited by Audrey to direct games at her Bridge Festival in Sea Island, GA. This year she's moving the event to a nearby site on St. Simon Island. It's a wonderful place to learn from Audrey in the mornings and play duplicate in the afternoons and evenings.

I'm hoping to attend and run games for Audrey again this year. She doesn't really advertise the festivals much because she tends to sell out every year! If this sounds like part of a great winter vacation to you, you might want to look into it soon. You can see all of her festivals here: http://www.betterbridge.com/festivals

See you all soon!
