Pasadena San Gabriel Unit
Morris "Mojo" Jones
New students are clamoring to learn to play bridge! The PCC
Extension "Bridge Introduction" class, held at the Pasadena Bridge
Club, started May 20 and drew 28 students! That class will be
continuing on Saturday mornings through June. Shortly after the Long
Beach Regional, I'll be offering a class for 2/1 Game Force on
Thursday evenings. Play of the Hand is continuing on Wednesday
evenings, and will be followed by Defense. Lots of opportunities to
level-up your bridge game!
For the June Unit Games, we'll be holding one Sunday June 4 at the
Pasadena Bridge Club, and one June 18 at the Arcadia Bridge Center.
Game times are 12:30 PM, and reservations are required! Contact
Miriam Harrington, (626) 232-0558, or miratpf@aol.com.
In July, we won't hold a unit game early in the month, instead we'll
be joining everyone at the Bridge Week Regional in Long Beach.
Looking forward to seeing you all there!
On Sunday, July 23, we'll be holding a special game at the Arcadia
Bridge Center where newer players get to play with a more
experienced partner. We call it the Over/Under game. Generally
speaking, the "Under" players have fewer than 300 masterpoints, and
the "Over" players have more. (Think of it as Life Masters paired
with non-Life Masters, but it may not be exactly that).
I'm taking signups now for the Under players for July 23: drop an
email to mojo@pasadenabridgeclub.com and let me know you'd like to
play!
It's important to note that partnership assignments for the
Over/Under Game will not be made until the day of the event, and
partnerships will ONLY be assigned through a random draw. No
pre-arranged partnerships will be admitted.
Winners for the May Unit Games:
Sunday, May 7 (STaC game)
- N/S Joan Mesias and Jeanette Deverian
- E/W Mark Peters and Sin Orensztein
Sunday, May 21
- N/S Joan Mesias and Jeanette Deverian
- E/W Rose Boot and John Darrow
For the May 7 STaC game, Mark and Sin rang up a 72.83% game!
Amazingly enough, that was only good enough for second place in
the Western Conference for Sunday afternoon!
Congratulations to new NABC Master Paulette Burkitt and
new Advanced NABC Master Angela Peters!
