[Unit559board] October Bridge News Column

Please review for corrections and omissions! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pasadena San Gabriel Unit Two great Unit Games last month: Sunday Sept. 3 we had 10-1/2 tables, winners each way: * N/S: Joan Mesias, Jeanette Deverian * E/W: Richard Parker, Caryn Mason Congratulations to Richard and Caryn on their big win from the C flight, over a strong field! On Sunday Sept. 17 we had 7 tables, winners each way: * N/S: Lisa Walker, Roy Wilson * E/W: Amr Elghamry, Dominique Moore The October Unit Games are shifted by a week because of a conflict with the North American Pairs District Final, being held on October 1. Plan to play on Sunday, *October 8 and 22* at 12:30 PM. The Oct. 8 game will be at the Pasadena Bridge Club, and the Oct. 22 game at the Arcadia Bridge Center. As always, reservations are strongly advised! Contact Miriam Harrington at (626) 232-0558 or miratpf(a)aol.com to reserve your seat. At every unit game we make an effort to balance the field between N-S and E-W, but it becomes increasingly difficult to do so! At one game a few weeks ago I went into the session expecting six Flight A teams needing a N/S seat, and only one willing to play E/W. Fortunately I had two additional Flight A pairs arrive willing to play E/W that helped out the game a little bit. Please, if you're able to move from table to table, consider playing E/W more often. I'll continue to make an effort to have the stratification more or less equivalent in each direction. Congratulations to our members climbing the ACBL ranks: * New Club Masters: Robert Jennings, Charlotte Reith * New Sectional Master: Patricia Luehrs * New NABC Master: Nina Huang * New Bronze Life Master: Parsad Upasani * New Silver Life Master: Sadika Elewy -- build message Morris "Mojo" Jones mojo(a)PasadenaBridgeClub.com https://PasadenaBridgeClub.com <https://pasadenabridgeclub.com> Pasadena Bridge Club <https://pasadenabridgeclub.com>
