Bridge Players
A group of friendly bridge players meets regularly on Wednesday afternoons at the Frisch Auf! Valley Country Club to play bridge from 1:30 until 5 p.m. We would like to expand the number of people regularly involved, offering to more people the considerable pleasure of serious bridge-played in an organized situation.You do not have to be a member of the Country Club to join us. We play duplicate bridge. The play is just like rubber (party) bridge. If you are a moderately serious bridge player, you will enjoy joining us, whether or not you have any previous experience in playing duplicate bridge. In duplicate bridge a number of different hands are dealt in advance, and the different pairs of partners play in turn the same hands as other players. The object is to bid and play better than the other pairs who play the same hands. Please get in touch with one of us if you have questions, or join us on a Wednesday afternoon at the Country Club.Questions contact Jim Heathman at heathman2@zochnet.com or (979) 540-8855, Arnold Romberg at faromberg@gmail.com or ( 512) 422-0149.
