We're planning for a busy week at the bridge
club! A Sectional Tournament at Clubs kind of
snuck up on me.
Our novice/intermediate program is bulging at
the seams. A new Bridge Basics 1 -
Introduction course started Wednesday
evening with 24 students enrolled.
And then there are the other events coming this
week! Here's the rundown:
Lulu Minter seminar Monday
At 10:00 AM before the memorial game,
Lulu Minter will present a seminar on defense
topics. We'll be using the "community room" down
the hall from the bridge club, so there's plenty
of room for everyone who wants to attend. No
charge!
Monday Memorial game FULL
Monday is our special memorial game for Rosario
"Charo" Holdo, and the bridge club is completely
full with 19 tables expected.
At the moment I have a short waiting list for
seats, so it's very important to let us know if
you have a reservation but will not be playing.
The bridge unit is sponsoring a Mexican lunch
from Vallarta for the occasion. We'll take a
lunch break about 12:00.
With a little time for lunch, we're expecting
this game to run until almost 3:00 PM. Please
allow for some extra time to play!
Rosario's son Erik is graciously sponsoring
card fees for all players on Monday, and the
bridge club is picking up the extra sanction fee
for the silver points.
Silver point games all week
This week is a Sectional Tournament at Clubs
(STaC) for District 23. Ten bridge clubs in LA
County will be playing the same boards and
combining their results for high overall awards.
All six Open Pairs games this week, Monday
through Friday at 11:00, Saturday at 1:00, will
be included in the STaC. Stratification will be
Open/2500/750. Card fees are $13 to cover the
extra sanction fee (except for the memorial game
on Monday).
Classes this week
Our classes are always best in the context of a
full course, but they stand alone quite nicely.
If you'd like to drop in for a single topic,
you're welcome to join for $25. We'll usually
have the topics for each session on the front of
the web site.
This week's classes:
- Wednesday 3:00 PM: Improving Your
Judgement - Doubles "Responding to
(advancing) partner's takeout double"
- Wednesday 7:00 PM: Bridge Basics 1 -
Introduction "One notrump opening bids
and responses"
- Thursday 7:00 PM: Bridge Basics 3 -
Popular Conventions "Jacoby Transfer
Bids"
Saturday mornings start with a free 20-minute
workshop with an interesting hand from Eddie
Kantar's Thinking Bridge series. Every hand has
interesting bidding, play, and defense problems
to work out. Come for the workshop, stay for the
14-board game, finish by 12:15.
Monday afternoon workshop cancelled
We're going to have a big mess of a bridge club
after Monday's game! Let's all join Zachary next
Monday for the workshop.
Best regards
Mojo, Jane, Zachary, Lisa, Susan
