Tuesdays 9-11 AM in March at the CBC Want to
have fun, improve your game and get some ACBL masterpoints? Bill Brewer
offers a new series for 0-99 MP players on Tuesdays from 9-11
AM on March 7, 14, 21 and 28 at the Cincinnati Bridge Center.
You will play 3 hands and may ask questions while playing. Once the 3
hands are complete, you will discuss them and then play another 3
hands, up to 9-12 boards. Breakfast pastries and coffee/tea will be
served. You can play, learn, laugh and have fun. You will become
more comfortable with the bidding boxes, bridgemates,
bidding/conventions and play of the hand. You will also receive a hand
record of the hands played for further study. Best of all you can get
some ACBL masterpoints. If you already have partner you may play
together, and if you don’t have a partner we will arrange for one. The
cost for the series is $36 or $10 per session. You must register in
advance for the series or sessions you want to attend,
since seating will be limited. To register use the link:
