Snowman

The Unit 171 Annual Unit Meeting and Winter Party will be held on Saturday, January 24, 2026 at 10:00 AM  at Blue Ridge Community College.  Please note the date change.

There will be a brief business meeting and then a Unit Championship Game with a catered lunch at noon. The game is expected to be completed by 3:30 PM.  There will be two sections - Open and  0-750 masterpoints.

As with previous years, registration will be online, and will be by pair.  Registration will open December 15.  When you register, you will be asked for your partner's name, whether or not you need a stationary table and what (optional) morning snack you would like to bring.

More details will be coming soon!

Our mission is to promote participation in contract bridge in Unit 171. To accomplish that, we will focus on the entire bridge community. We support everything that furthers the game - teaching bridge, promoting bridge activities, conducting competitions - all with the highest standards of conduct and ethics.
