It's amazing to see our little club hosting a
major tournament. This is our third hosting of
an event, and by far the largest in attendance.
For the first time, we took advantage of the
Community Room down the hall from the bridge
club, where we have room for 12 additional
tables, for a total of about 30 (without
squeezing too much!).
We hosted four full sessions of bridge, with
96-1/2 total tables over the weekend! Our
biggest session was on Sunday afternoon with 18
tables in the Open Pairs, and 7 tables in the
499er Pairs.
Full
results from all of the Sectional games
can be found here.
New signs!
It took us a while, but we finally have
professional signs on the lobby door and over
the club main doors.
Director table set up for the Sectional. Notice
the new signage!

Teacher training coming up
Become an accredited Better Bridge teacher!
We're hosting a two-day seminar by Denise
Hoffman on Thursday-Friday December 21-22.
By completing the seminar you'll be recognized
as an accredited teacher by the ACBL, and

It's a great credential to present to
organizations like college extension programs.
