It's Memorial Day weekend, and the bridge club
will be open for games and Office Hours.
Historically, holiday Monday games have done
very well. A few players who would normally miss
the big weekday games enjoy playing with a day
off work.
When I worked a day job for a living, I was
envious of those who could play in the big games
on the weekdays. Whenever I had a day off I
enjoyed getting into the game. (Or I might call
in with "bridge flu.")
TA Saturday morning?
I'm looking for a couple of people who could
help fill tables during my class on Saturday
morning. I'm starting Bridge Basics 2 -
Competitive Bidding, and I'm expecting
about five tables for the class.
There's no guarantee you'll get to fill a seat,
but if you're willing to come out for coffee and
donut holes, I'd love to have you! You might get
to enjoy auditing Bridge Basics 2 again as well.
Bridgemate App
Are you one of those who would like to see the
board scores during the game? We have a way to
do that.
There's an app you can install on your phone,
the Bridgemate App. You can register with the
Pasadena Bridge Club, and after each round of
play your results will be available in the app.
It's optional, and it's personal. I'm content
to leave it turned off myself. But it's there if
you want it! And remember, there really aren't
any meaningful matchpoint results until each
board has been played a few times. Early results
aren't worth much.

If you need help, let me know.
Teacher of the Year?
The ABTA (American Bridge Teachers Association)
is putting out the call for more nominations for
Teacher of the Year. They've extended the
deadline for applications to June 5.
If there's a bridge teacher who you feel might
be worthy of a nomination, drop
by this link. There's a button for the
nomination form. (You may want to have contact
information for that teacher!)

Individual classes are available to join for
$25. No need to sign up for a full course.
Here are the topics this week:

Coming up ...
What are your plans for the Long Beach Regional
this year? Let us know if you'd like to play in
a club game that week, rather than the
tournament.
We'd like to open the bridge club, but Zachary
and I would also like to go play in Long Beach.
Additionally I'll be departing on a road trip to
Toronto for the ABTA convention at the end of
the week.
The next Bridge Basics 1 - Introduction
is now open
for enrollment on the PCC Extension web site.
The class will meet on six Thursday evenings
starting August 1.
Best regards,
Mojo, Jane, Zachary
