UPDATE: Thursday Game in Williamsburg, VA |
If we want to continue the Williamsburg Face2Face game, we really need some greater Williamsburg residents and close-by-friends to commit to playing regularly. Last week we only had 8 open players and 12 under 199. There are more than 200 people who live within 20 miles of this game. Please come. We have a lovely quiet playing space in the First Colony clubhouse.
The Peninsula Bridge Club (PBC) Thursday game is held at the First Colony Clubhouse on 125 Pasbehegh Drive, Williamsburg, VA 23185. Doors open at 10:30 AM, and play begins at 11 AM. Please arrive by 10:45 am. There will be a 0-199 section if enough players in that category attend. Cost is $10 for PBC members and $11 for non-members. Light snacks will be available. You can bring your own drinks to place in the refrigerator for the day.
For further information, please contact Camilla Buchanan (757-784-2702 Camillabuchanan3@gmail.com) or Pete Hardin (pvergilius@gmail.com).

Consider playing Bridge at Bridge Base Online. The ACBL and Bridge Base have created "Virtual Clubs", under the ACBL World link on Bridge Base. To be automatically eligible to play in a game you must have played in any game at Unit 110 Club within the last year. If you would like to play but do not meet that criteria contact the director. Here are links to some BBO tutorials: https://www.acbl.org/bbotutorials/ COMPREHENSIVE Tutorial (38min) for new players
Virtual Club games open for registration 2 hours before scheduled game time. You and your partner must be signed on to register. After you register you just have to be signed on a few minutes before game time - Board 1 will pop up when automatically when the game starts.
Register early if possible, it helps the director, also the games can fill up. If you need a partner let the director know.
