Pasadena San Gabriel Unit

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!
