So much going on this week! Three new bridge
courses starting, NAP Qualifier games, and a new
seminar series from Lulu Minter.
Let's get right to it!
Three great free seminars
Monday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings this
week, Lulu Minter will be offering free pre-game
talks at 10:00 before the 11:00 Open Pairs
games. These were a big hit last year!
Here are the topics:
- Monday, Aug. 25: "NT opening and beyond"
- Wednesday, Aug. 27: "Do's and Don't's"
- Thursday, Aug. 28: "More Do's and Don't's"
No reservations required! Just come and join
the group in the classroom at 10:00 AM.
NAP Qualifier week
This is the last week to qualify for this
year's North American Pairs district final game.
The district final will be on Sunday October 26.
To play in the final, you need to qualify in an
NAP Qualifier club game.
These games pay large masterpoint awards, 50%
red masterpoints. The extra $1 card fee goes to
help support sending our District 23 finalists
to the national North American Pairs
championships at the spring NABC in St. Louis.
Classes Next Week
For all of our courses, you're welcome to join
a single class for $25. It's a great way to get
a good bite of a subject without a six-week
commitment.
All three courses are having their first
session this week.
- Wednesday, 3:00 PM, Two Over One Game
Force "Introduction"
- Wednesday, 7:00 PM, Bridge Basics 2 -
Competitive Bidding "Preemptive Opening
Bids"
- Thursday, 7:00 PM, Bridge Basics 4 -
Play of the Deal "Play of the Deal at
Notrump"
Club Schedule for Sectional
There will be no regular club or unit games on
Saturday or Sunday, August 23-24. Instead, the
club will be hosting the Pasadena Sectional
Tournament. They're holding two Pairs games on
Saturday, and a full-day Team swiss game on
Sunday.
In addition, so we can set up the club and
the Community Room, Friday afternoon
social/supervised play is cancelled!
Coming up ...
PCC Extension has published their fall catalog,
including "Bridge Introduction" on Wednesday
afternoons at 3:00 PM starting October 8. This
is our first time to offer Bridge Introduction
during daylight hours! Get out the word for a
big turnout.
Best regards,
Mojo, Jane, Zachary, Lisa
