It was a big day on Sunday! Our club hosted the
district final for the North American Pairs. It
was a long day for me! I worked the bridge club
from 8:30 AM 'til about 7:00 PM. We used the
Community Room down the hall to add an extra
nine tables in capacity to the club.
Our own players had a great showing. In Flight
B Thompson Jin and Dan Lubesnik earned seats in
the final, and Joerg and Andrew Rottenbacher may
get an invitation as the first alternate.
In Flight C, Kim Gundlach and Toban placed 4th
to qualify for the national event. Fred Register
and Leslie Klein placed 5th to become the first
alternate if one of the top four decline to
play.
Instant Matchpoint Game
Here's one last reminder that the Instant
Matchpoint Game will be played Wednesday
(tomorrow). It's a unique event and pays big
awards, including a bit of precious gold
masterpoints for the winners. Card fee for this
game is $15.
The parking lot at the club is being resealed
and striped this week, so the number of spaces
available may be quite a bit lower. It's worth
coming early to find your spot, and consider
taking a parking spot on the streets nearby if
you find one.
Classes this coming week
Individual classes are available to join for
$25. No need to sign up for a full course!

Coming up ...
Sunday November 3 is the next unit game. The
Pasadena San Gabriel Unit hosts the game and
provides a pizza lunch at 12:00 noon, followed
by great bridge competition at 12:30. Still $10
cash! Make your reservations for the game.
November 18-23 will be a "Royal" Sectional
Tournament at Clubs (STaC) week. Points awarded
are sectional rated, with 25% each black, red,
silver, and gold points.
We're in the midst of planning games around the
Thanksgiving holiday. Do we want to have a game
on Wednesday before Thanksgiving? I think we
will - though the parking lot might be full of
grocery shoppers!
Best regards,
