It's been an amazing first week of nearly
full-time operation of the bridge club. Zachary
and I are getting into a new rhythm, and things
are working out nicely.
For yesterday's game, Jane brought a few
eclipse glasses, and everyone had a view of the
50% eclipse even from inside the club.
Online Community Games
The ACBL is hosting online bridge games that
include some themed hands and a lesson after.
The games are limited to players with fewer than
20 masterpoints, and are held Tuesdays and
Thursdays at 3:00 PM Pacific time. (They have
other games, but Tuesday and Thursday features
the free lesson.)
The games are 12 boards, about an hour and a
half, and the lesson after is on Zoom.
If you join the game today or Thursday, I'll be
the guest instructor, filling in for Linda
Green.

Robert Todd Seminar
 Sunday, April 14, join us for a
full day with entertaining teacher and player
Robert Todd. Robert's seminars are dynamite for
experienced and newer players alike. He teaches
how to think about bridge, not just rules to
memorize.
- 9:00 AM Modern Preempts
- 1:00 PM Defensive Tools
Spend the day with us for $85. Save your seat at this link.
Classes this week
Individual classes are available to join for
$25. No need to sign up for a full course.
Here are the topics this week:
- Wednesday, 7:00 PM, Bridge Basics 3 -
Competitive Bidding "Jacoby Transfer
Bids" (practice session on Saturday morning
with Jane and Michael too!)
- Thursday, 7:00 PM, Improving Your
Judgment - Doubles "Advancing Partner's
Double"
- Saturday, 9:30 AM, Bridge Basics 1 -
Introduction "Opening 1NT Bids and
Responses"
For the Saturday morning workshop, let's spend
some time studying matchpoint scoring. Come
practice and understand the scores on the
results better.
Coming up ...
We're planning to add Friday Open Pairs at
11:00 starting in May, and a Saturday Open Pairs
section at 1:00 alongside the Saturday
novice/intermediate game. We probably have to
drop the workshop part of that session, and find
another way to offer that. It's a work in
progress!
Coming up the week of May 6 through May 12,
we'll be hosting "Royal STaC" games, where
players can earn a tiny piece of all the colors.
:)
And the Sunday Unit Games are at the Pasadena
Bridge Club, both Sundays. The next one is April
21.
Best regards,
Mojo, Jane, Zachary
