Bridge Corner

By: Bruce Clapper

I’ve decided to let everyone know what a great time we have playing duplicate Bridge every third Wednesday of the month at the Club.  We usually have 4 or 5 tables and would really like to have more participation from some of the many other bridge players in the club.  It’s really a fun afternoon and very unserious. You don’t have to have a partner (but you can certainly bring one).  Just call me, if you’d like to be included, at 297-9231 or e-mail bruceclapper@yahoo.com.  We start at 2:30 and many of us stay on for dinner and continue the fun.  This is just like “party bridge” except that everyone plays the exact same hands so it can be determined who plays the hands the best.  It’s not at all intimidating.  Just ask Judy Barnes, or Jerry Clapper.

Below are the results of our Feb. 10 session (we held it a week early because Jerry and I were planning on being out of town on the 17th):

Team Points

Joe & Jody Brown 38

Mike Nee & Tony Keffer 36

Also, Tom Sanders & I would like to invite you to play real party bridge at the Club on every Thursday morning at 9:00.  We have lots of fun there, too.  If you’re interested, please call Tom at 721-2167.
