Bridge classes for 2018
It's a new year, and a lot of folks are already signing up for my
classes through PCC Extension. If you're interested in the later
classes, you might want to grab a seat early. I'll give a little
introduction here; the full schedule and lesson plans are on my bridge
class web site: BridgeMojo class information <https://bridgemojo.com/class>

Monday Night game
The Monday night bridge game is going dark for three Mondays for the
holidays, plus I'm travelling to Sea Island, Georgia, to direct games
for Audrey Grant at her festival there Jan. 6-11.
The game will reopen on January 15. (My wedding anniversary, which just
shows what a special woman I'm partnered with!)
The game has been a big surprise for me. I had hoped to have four or
five tables on Monday nights. Instead, I've been having to buy tables,
bidding boxes, and scoring devices to keep up with the demand. The first
three games averaged 13 tables each. I'm ordering a couple more of
everything next week.
LA Holiday Regional
This is the first year for L.A. to host a regional bridge tournament
during Christmas week. End-of-the-year tournaments are a little bit
special in bridge.
I just added a feature article to the web site: the New Player Guide to
the LA Regional
<https://bridgemojo.com/feature/new-player-guide-la-regional-2017>. Big
tournaments are great for newer players. I hope to see you there!
Best regards, and best of the holiday season!
