[News] This week at the bridge club

Pasadena Bridge Club Logo <https://pasadenabridgeclub.com> News from North Fair Oaks Mojo ABTA Master Teacher 649 N Fair Oaks Ave #201 Pasadena CA 91103 (626) 247-4457 pasadenabridgeclub.com <https://pasadenabridgeclub.com> Zachary has been wanting to try something for weeks now -- have a short team match at "Office Hours." He reports team match last week, and may try it again! We have plans to offer a regular team game at the club, but limited bandwidth just now. I have two weeks of awkward course scheduling during the second two weeks of December. I'm in possession of some dynamite standalone lessons from Eddie Kantar on every bridge subject you can think of. I'm considering holding single-session classes that anyone can drop in for. Then we'll start up courses again in January. Let me know what you think! Saturdays full of bridge Zachary had a splendid idea for the 299ers who can't get enough bridge ... If you come to play in the Saturday morning workshop-and-game, grab some lunch then play in the 1:00 game for half price!  It will be a great way to spend a cloudy chilly Saturday this fall and winter. :) Tuesday evening novice pairs Tuesday evening is our time for new players to come play in a real bridge game with other novice bridge players. Lisa Walker is your host for 14-or-so bridge hands every Tuesday evening at 7:00. The game is always over by 9:15, and it's a very friendly bunch. Lots of new players are winning their first masterpoints in the Tuesday evening game! Classes this coming week Individual classes are available to join for $25. No need to sign up for a full course! *Mojo's pick*: /Improving Your Judgement - Doubles/ on Wednesday evening. Add some precision to your bids after partner doubles. * Wednesday, 7:00 PM, /Improving Your Judgment - Doubles/, "Advancing (responding to) partner's double" * Thursday, 7:00 PM, /Bridge Basics 2 - Competitive Bidding/ "Simple overcalls and advances" Coming up ... We'll have a week of Club Championship games next week, culminating with the special Over/Under game on September 29. These are games that pay bunches of extra masterpoints with no extra sanction fee. (We get to do that a few times a year!) The next silver point week will be October 7-12, and October is Club Appreciation Month with lots of nifty events. *Bridge Basics 1 - Introduction* will begin again on Wednesday evenings starting October 23. Enrollment is open now at PCC Extension <https://pasadena.augusoft.net/index.cfm?method=ClassInfo.ClassInformation&int_class_id=67500&int_category_id=0&int_sub_category_id=0&int_catalog_id=0>! ** Best regards, Mojo, Jane, Zachary
