My friend and teaching partner Karol Monroe is having a duplicate game
for her students this afternoon at 1:45. We could use another pair to
help fill a table. Would anyone like to come play? Limited to players
under 20 masterpoints please! :)
Drop me a reply.

I have one brand new player looking for a partner for the 12:20 game
today. Is there anyone on the sidelines who might like to come play this
afternoon?
Best regards,

Then we have our duplicate bridge game at 12:20. We'll play 12 hands for

sure to let me know *who your partner will be* or if you need one. I can
usually find partners with some notice.

Last night we held a casual New Year's Eve team tournament on
RealBridge. I wrote up a short article for BridgeMojo in case you're
curious how it went.
Here's a link to the article: https://bridgemojo.com/node/68
This picture was my view of the tournament. The director view is on the
laptop, with my table during round three of the game.

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! :)
