Programs for Social Bridge Players at Newtown Bridge Club

Newtown Bridge Club has two new programs this summer to introduce bridge players to the fun and challenge of duplicate bridge.

Easybridge 2, a weekly series of short lessons followed by 2 hours of play, will be held on Mondays from 9:30 to noon through September 15. The lessons present a variety of topics in modern bidding, declarer play and defense. The material is appropriate for anyone who has had a beginning bridge class and for social bridge players. Players are welcome to bring friends and partners or come alone. The cost is $12 per lesson ($9 for Newtown Bridge Club members); an optional book is available for $15.

Under 21 sections, where all players must have fewer than 20 masterpoints, provide an easy introduction to duplicate bridge. In an Under 21 section, players compete with their peers at a relaxed pace in a 2-hour game and have the opportunity to earn masterpoints. Social bridge players who would like to try duplicate bridge are welcome. The game fee is $9 ($7 for Newtown Bridge Club members). Under 21 is offered on Mondays at 1 pm, Tuesdays at 10 am and 7pm and Wednesdays at 10 am.

Newtown Bridge Club meets at the Hawleyville Volunteer Fire Station, 34 Hawleyville Road (Route 25), Newtown CT. For more information about the club, visit www.newtownbridge.org or contact the club manager Susan Fronapfel at director@newtownbridge.org, or 203-733-8525.
 
Newtown Bridge Club is affiliated with the American Contract Bridge League (ACBL). The club holds four ACBL-sanctioned duplicate bridge games each week open to all players: Mondays at 1 pm, Tuesdays at 10 am and 7 pm and Wednesdays at 10 am. Games are played at the Hawleyville Volunteer Fire Station, 0.3 mile north of I-84 exit 9.
