Hi from the Pasadena Pomona Downey virtual bridge club!

I did something new this past Wednesday evening. We held an online game for bridge newcomers. I invited my students, they brought friends, and we hung out to play twelve hands of bridge. We had a six table game!

We're going to continue holding the Wednesday evening newcomer game at 7:15 every Wednesday, followed by a Zoom party where I can review hands with interested players.

The Wednesday evening game will dovetail nicely with online classes for new bridge players on Tuesday evening. I'll be starting with Introduction to Bridge through PCC Extension on August 25. I'll have more information when PCC gets their catalog together.

Tomorrow (Saturday) morning at 9:30 I'll continue the bridge mini lesson. I'm currently doing a series on defender play. Tomorrow's lesson is part one of opening leads against trump contracts. There's a lot to unpack, so I'm going to use two Saturday mornings for this one!

The Saturday mini lessons are small bridge bites; everyone and anyone is welcome. Hook up on Zoom a few minutes early and we can chat!
