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!
Best regards,
Mojo, Jane, Zachary
