We are an ACBL-sanctioned bridge club,
located in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, serving the northern and western
suburbs of Philadelphia. Owners Dave
LeGrow and Rob Maier welcome both new and seasoned bridge players in the
Greater Philadelphia area to the Club.
August 1, 2021.
Status of Face-to-Face Games at the Club:
Tuesday,
August 3, Open game (12N) is ON.
Wednesday,
August 4, Open game (12N) is CANCELLED (probably permanently)
Thursday,
August 5, Open game (12N) is PROBABLE.
REMINDER (Updated):
The
Club maintains a policy of requiring that all players show evidence of full
vaccination; MASK USE IS ENCOURAGED, BUT ONLY REQUIRED IN COMMON
AREAS OF THE BUILDING (Lobby, Restrooms...), in keeping with the latest CDC
advisory. Management (and your fellow
players) thank you for your observance.
Wednesday Afternoon Game – Suspended Until Further Notice
The
Wednesday afternoon has been struggling to get a meaningful turnout. Small games are a source of frustration to
the players and the director. Unless and
until there is a visible demand for this game, we will no longer place it on
the schedule. Open games can be found at
North Penn and at the Bridge Studio of Delaware.
Wednesday Evening Game NOT Returning to the Club for Face-to-Face
Play...
The
Wednesday evening 0-750 Limited game will remain ON-LINE for the time being. The responses to the solicitation to return
to the Club indicated that players did not have a strong desire to come out for
the evening game... at least not yet. So,
we will continue to run the Limited game on-line at 6:45 in its current format.
Expanded On-Line Morning Limited Game Schedule...
We
have expanded our on-line presence for Limited Games. We are now conducting 0-500 games EVERY WEEKDAY at 10:15 AM. In addition to our
previous Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday online games, we have added sessions
on Tuesday and Friday, also at 10:15 AM.
Special Game Schedule at the Club (Extra points all year...)
The
ACBL has granted Face-to-Face games at local clubs the ability to run a number
of special games, awarding extra masterpoints.
As a result, the Club will be running these special games for ALL IN-PERSON GAMES through the middle of
December. Check the Club schedule for an exact listing of upcoming
games...
Seminar Series “Making Sound Decisions”
Dave
continues to host a limited series of seminars, collectively titled: “Making
Sound Decisions”. These sessions are
being held at the Club on Monday afternoons from 3:00 – 4:30 PM. Please let us know (phone or e-mail) if you
are interested in one or more of the sessions. Click
here for more information...
Saturday Morning Limited Game Has Returned to the Club
The
Saturday Morning Limited (0-500) game has returned to the Club for face-to-face
play. As before the pandemic, game time
is 10AM. We are taking reservations for future
sessions of this game. The format (18
boards) has been retained, as well as the reduced card fee ($8). Welcome
back.
Longer Term
Prognosis for the Club
You
have probably noticed that recovery is slow and tentative. Games continue to be small, and it is
necessary to occasionally cancel games. We are trying to run Face-to-Face
Open pairs games at noon on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays
for the immediate future. Come on out
and play...! There is no substitute for
face-to-face play and the company of other bridge players. The Club is currently taking reservations for
sessions through the middle of August.
Call, or (better) e-mail the Club, or (best) sign up in the Reservation
book at the Club.
You are our Most Valuable Player... please consider that the longer-term
viability of the Club depends upon your support. Help us bounce back better...
