Welcome to PBC Bridge Club
First Colony Bridge Game Moved April 24, 2025

The First Colony, Williamsburg bridge game on April 24, 2025 has been moved to the PBC Bridge Center due to use of the First Colony facilities by the Red Cross.

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).

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.
