Hello to all my bridge playing friends. We have certainly had some tough times in the past year and a half, but we are glad to be able to get back to face to face bridge. Games have already started in Edina, Minnetonka, Maple Grove, and at the St Paul Bridge Center. More games will start in Minneapolis within a week or so. A comprehensive list of games is found below. This includes some online events that will certainly continue for those who choose to play from home. Your participation in our locally sponsored games is very important, whether in person or online.
A lot of volunteer work has gone into establishing these games and it will take more volunteer work to keep them going. Since we do not have a dedicated bridge center in the western metro, we have rented space in several locations, which means tables and chairs may have to be set up and taken down before and after games. We call on the players to help us with that. If we all do what we can it will not be much work for any individual.
Health safety rules for the games have been decided. Proof of Vaccination is required, and masks are highly recommended. We ask that you send vaccination proof that will be kept on file for all games on the list below. This can be sent to [email protected] or texted to 952-200-3871.You may also bring it with you to the first game at which you play and the director in charge will have it recorded.
We are looking for space that we may call our own so much of this information is subject to change in the future. We encourage you to keep your eyes open to revisions. The best place to find this is to check in with the Minnesota Bridge Blog at www.mnbridge.com.
We are also looking for directors, teachers, mentors, other people who would like to become involved in helping bring this wonderful game we all love to more people. It is a pastime that can last as long as you live. Please consider sharing it with your friends and relatives.
We are currently working to develop a schedule of classes some of which will be offered by popular teachers Teri Blu, Keith Thompson and others.
Feel free to contact me if you have further questions. The contact info for the game operators provided below. Contact them about the specific games.
Thanks for being a member of the ACBL and I hope to see you all at the tables soon!
Yours,
Steve Gaynor, [email protected]
