I wrote a "call for players" early this morning, and neglected to
release it from my moderation queue.
I should say, more players are welcome in tonight's game! Please drop me
a note and come play. :)

We have plenty to hold a game tonight. Glenn Jeanes is looking for a
partner!
I'm thinking of using IMP scoring instead of matchpoints, so it more
accurately reflects the difference between the scores at different
tables (something other than 1, 0, or 1/2). But maybe not tonight. :)
Here's who I'm expecting:
Pairs 7:15 Newcomers
Name BBO Name BBO
Sandra Marsh sandybean Julie Barbour julie bar

Duke Gregory dukegreg Allen York puddlefolk
Jane Houston Jones jhjones52 Jean Wortman acesw1n
Ken Miller kgmbridge Julie Miller millerja

Saturday we have the Zoom mini-lesson at 9:30 for about 15 minutes, then
the newcomer game at 12:20.
Would you like to play Saturday afternoon? Drop me a note! If you're
looking for a partner, I have some friendly single players available.
This Saturday's morning lesson continues on the Defense subject of
third-hand play. We know about "third-hand high" and "trapping an honor
card in dummy." Let's look at what to do when partner lead's a high card.
Here's the Zoom link for the Saturday lesson:

Jane and I are planning to host some Saturday afternoon bridge parties
at our house in Monrovia for vaccinated bridge players.
We have room for three tables, but we'll play as long as we can get at
least one!
Start time: 4:00, play some bridge, have some pizza, play some more
bridge. :)
We especially want new players and re-entering players to come enjoy the
game with physical cards again, perhaps getting a refresh on how to
follow suit and lead from the correct hand! It's going to take some
getting used to! :)
Some of you have already expressed an interest, and I'm starting a
mailing list to keep in touch with folks who'd like to play. So please
send me another note with a reminder.
If you'd like to be on the mailing list for invites, please drop me a
note. First game, this Saturday, May 8.
Best regards,
Mojo
