Whether the Washington DC NABC is on your schedule or not - great bridge is available right here in Minnesota! Starting July 15th through Sunday July 19th, the Aquatennial Silver Point Tournament will be held at the Twin City Bridge Center at 60th and Nicollet. These five days of events are a super way to warm up for Washington, beat the heat or just have a great time competing with your friends.
Do check out the schedule above and join in the fun!
Unit 178 is having its annual Charity Game for 2009 on June 6th at the Twin Cities Bridge Center. From 5:30PM to 6:45PM players can enjoy appetizers and desserts as they participate in a silent auction. At 7PM, an open duplicate will commence. Larry Oakey has kindly donated his capable directing services for the evening.
MAD DADS is this year's beneficiary. To learn more about this worthy organization, please check out the two attachments below. Additional information about the silent auction and the game can be found in these documents.
On top of the charity game, players can compete in the Worldwide Bridge Contest this same weekend. Sessions for this event will be held Friday evening and Saturday afternoon, along with hand records and Eric Kokish's expert commentary booklet.
Lots going on in our bridge community! Be sure to check out all the details - and - don't miss a minute!
This Saturday and Sunday, players from four flights: Superflight, and Flights A, B and C will have an opportunity to compete for a trip to the NABC in Washington DC this July! For many years, District 14's competition for this honor was held in Ft. Dodge, Iowa - quite a bit down the road for most Minnesotans. This year, those of us in the Gopher State are fortunate that the playing site is far closer to home: New Brighton, a northern suburb of Minneapolis.
Many years, I and my teammates have competed in this exciting event with a big potential pay-off - once in a while, with thrilling success. If you would like to try your team's skill and fortune this year, all the details about the GNT and concurrent Swiss Team Sectional can be found here.
Last night, Tony Ames and I teamed with Diane and Larry Henson of Minnetonka for a practice match with some newer players. They are planning on competing in Flight C this weekend.
If you want to participate in the ACBL's premier "grass roots" event, compete against your peers from all of District 14, potentially win a subsidized trip to play teams from all over North America - and have loads of fun - then be sure to head to New Brighton this weekend! I look forward to seeing you there!
