Our November-December course list is going to
be affected a little bit by Thanksgiving and the
fall North American Bridge Championships.
The NABC is in San Diego this year, starts on
Thanksgiving day, and runs for the following 12
days. Having the NABC nearby is a great treat,
and the whole staff of the bridge club is
looking forward to attending. We'll be closing
the bridge club on November 30, and December 1
and 2. We'll do a little cleanup in those days
as well.
Here are the courses that are starting up next
week:
Bridge Basics 3 - Popular Conventions
There truly aren't many conventions that one
needs to know to do well in a bridge game, but
there are a handful that are the most useful,
and nearly universal.
In this course you'll study the Stayman
convention, Jacoby Transfer Bids, very strong
hand openings, and a bit of slam bidding.
Your instructor will be our own bridge wizard
Zachary Vedro.
Introduction to Defense
This course helps you and your partner win as
many tricks as possible when defending. Consider
that you'll be defending twice as often as
declaring, and you can see the value! It's a
dynamite course for learning to visualize the
location of key cards around the table, and
helping your partner understand what you hold.
Bridge Basics 1 - Introduction
Alas this session of Bridge Basics 1 on
Wednesday afternoons is completely sold out,
with 32 students! This is the first time we've
had to close registrations this early for a
class.
The next session will be offered in March on
Thursday evenings, and PCC Extension should open
it for registration sometime in January. I'll be
sure to let everyone know!
North American Pairs District Final
A note to those who qualified in club games
during June, July, and August, your opportunity
to play in the NAP District Final is coming this
Sunday, October 25.
The district final is a two-session game, with
the first session starting at 10:00 AM, and
played at the Long Beach Bridge Center.
You can get a copy of the tournament
flier at this link, and you can send in a
reservation

To see if you qualified for the final, visit

of Contest are at this link.
