From the President’s Desk  Mr. A. J. Stephani

Gold Rush is HERE!  Come get your Gold Points.  Play often.  Stay the week, win and be happy!


We're celebrating Youth Bridge and encourage new players of all ages to come join us for a week of fun.  We offer NLM events and discount entry fees. Look for the Cincinnati High School Youth Bridge Championship.  See you at the Tables!

Tournament Manager Ms. Patti English Ms. Gerri Mirus

We are excited to offer the Cincinnati Regional during a new week this year.  There are no competing tournaments and the weather will be beautiful for attendance at area outside attractions. Our schedule reflects the growing trend of offering 10:00 and 2:30 as our main sessions.  Also new this year is our Wine and Cheese reception every evening at the conclusion of the afternoon session.   Come to the Livinn Suites at 5:30 and review those hands that gave you trouble…and relax before going to dinner and the evening session.

Partnerships – Don't stay away just because you don't have a ready partner.  Contact Lorna Davis nons@cinci.rr.com or
(513) 777 1760 .  We will match you with the best available peer player available so you both enjoy playing at the Flying Pig. Would be great to have a  partnership request form online  that records Player name number event name  (must be specific)  system/bisdding approach, and target experience range for partners. Can also do pairs looking forteams.
