I've always loved playing bridge on New Year's Eve. It just seems
natural to me.
I'm hosting a game at 8:00 p.m. tomorrow evening on RealBridge, a place
where we can play and see and hear each other at the table. It's from
the UK: https://realbridge.club/ for a taste of what it's like.
I have 11 players coming so far, and there's plenty of room for more. If
we get an even number of tables, we can match up teams and have a team
match -- my favorite way to play bridge is in teams of four.
If you'd like to play, please drop me a note! No sanction, no director,
no points, no charge. Maybe even no clock. We'll see!
We played Christmas Day with two tables and it was splendid.
Best regards,
Mojo

Here's your invitation to come play Wednesday evening! We'll play at
7:15, 12 boards, about an hour and a half of bridge.
We'll get together after the game on Zoom to laugh or cry over the
hands, and probably a little red wine for Jane and me at least. :)
Please drop me a note if you'd like to play and let me know if you need
a partner.
Here's the Zoom link for the postmortem:

Meanwhile, I'm starting a new session for Bridge 1 next Tuesday, Jan. 5,
through PCC Extension. I have ten students enrolled right now, and
wouldn't be surprised if the class sold out before Tuesday. I'm hoping
we'll generate some more bridge players for the newcomer games! It'll be
a few weeks, but I'm sure we'll get a few! :)
Best regards,

I need five to hold an official game. I bet there's one more pair
available. If not we'll try again next week. :)
I'll let you all know if I hear from someone.

Hey all ... I have eight players for some Christmas bridge today. I'm
setting up a game with check-in at 3:30 and playing at 4:00 that's
purely for fun. No director, no masterpoints, no charge.
We're going to play on RealBridge, where you'll be able to see and chat
with your table mates. No Zoom involved, it's built into the browser.
There's a test page for your browser/camera/mic here:
https://play.realbridge.online/camera.html
We have room for more players. It's just a Christmas card game. We'll
play for about 90 minutes (12 hands). If you have other friends or
family who you'd like to bring along, please do!
Reservations required. I'll be sending links to the game at about 2:30.
More information about RealBridge is at https://realbridge.online
