Most of you have heard that the Arcadia Bridge
Center will be closing shop soon, after 55 years
nurturing bridge here in the San Gabriel Valley.
Zachary and I will do our best to offer games
when everyone wants to play, starting with
Monday and Tuesday. We're working on plans for
Friday and Saturday in the near future.
I know for many players it will be an extra
trek to get to Pasadena. Maybe someone will
consider opening another weekly game closer to
Arcadia or Duarte. There's plenty of room to
grow bridge!
New games Monday, Tuesday 11:00 AM
Zachary will be directing on Monday and Tuesday
at 11:00, starting right away! April 1 will be
our first game.
We'll play The Common Game
hands, with hand records and Bridgemate scoring.
We'll plan to offer as many of the special games
as possible, including STaC, fund raisers,
instant matchpoint games, club championships,
and NAP Qualifiers.
Our weekday start time is designed to get
people on the road before I-210 gets too awfully
busy.
Add yourself to RSVP Groups
The reservation system on RSVP Bridge is
designed with weekly games and classes as
"groups" of regular players and students.
When you add yourself as a group member, the
weekly games will appear on your RSVP calendar,
and other players will be able to invite you to
play. You'll be able to see who has signed up to
play, and you'll get a weekly reminder email.
Once you let me know that you'd like to play, I
create an account for you on RSVPBridge. You can
log in and change your profile.
Here's how to add the games you would like to
follow:
- Log in to https://rsvpbridge.com/
- In the top bar, look for "My Clubs"
- Under Pasadena Bridge Club, you'll see the
groups where you're already a member
- Click additional groups you'd like to
follow, and click the "Join" button.
