  Mark your Calendars for these future special events. Come join the fun.

  In an effort to offer a stress-free opportunity to work on your bridge game, you are invited to join us each Saturday in June from 9:30 – 11:30. Arrive by 9:15 so play can begin at 9:30. The cost is $5.00 and there will be a couple of Mentors there to answer your questions about opening bids and leads. This is a wonderful opportunity to develop some partnerships on your journey to actually playing in the Limited Games offered at the Chattanooga Bridge Center.  (June 17 is a scheduled party for our Longest Day annual fundraiser for Alzheimers. Play on June 17 will begin at 9:00 in order to finish before the party.)

  There is a Face-to-Face game at the Chattanooga Bridge Center every Friday at 12:00 noon for players with fewer than 199 master points . If possible, bring a partner but this is not required as we have an Ambassador standing by.

  There is also a Face-to-Face game every Tuesday morning from 9:00 to 11:30 for players with fewer than 50 master points.

  If you prefer to play from home, there’s a BBO game each Tuesday evening beginning at 7:00 pm for players with fewer than 349 master points. Contact Anne Donnovin at 423-605-2996 or Stewart Lawwill at 324-718-0791 for more information.

  Once a month on typically the third Friday, we offer a Mentor/Mentee game beginning at 12 Noon. This is an amazing opportunity to play bridge with a Mentor who will offer advice about bids and card play to help you improve your bridge game.  Contact Sandy Cervantis at 423-315-1953 and she will assign you a partner.

  There are currently quite a few players that fall into at least one of these categories. The Chattanooga Bridge Center is dedicated to offering every possible opportunity for you to come join us. This only works if the attendance merits the effort so you are strongly encouraged to participate at the level you are most comfortable.

  We look forward to seeing you more often at the Chattanooga Bridge Center.

  NEW UNDER 50 MP GAME 9-11:30
  

  Come early Tuesday mornings for a new game at the Bridge Center for players with fewer than 50 master points. The charge will be $5.00. If  you’re new to bridge, this is a wonderful opportunity to meet other players at your level. Come with a partner to enjoy this play date regardless of what kind of bridge you like to play. We are very excited to offer this opportunity to everyone who wants to meet other payers learning bridge or just looking to find like minded players. Dan Chandler will provide a short lesson.

  June 19, 2023 NEW GAME NIGHT – 199er and Open
  Food at 5:30 – Game begins 6:00 PM
  To offer another option for beginning players and for those who may not be able to make the daytime games, the CBC will have an evening game for those interested. If you’d like to share a meal before the game, please provide a covered dish. Food will be available at 5:30 and the game will begin at 6:00 pm. We hope this appeals to a lot of our members, so spread the word!! If there’s enough interest, more games like this will be scheduled in the future.

  Mentor/Mentee Games

  The Second and Fourth Monday at 7:00 pm on BBO there is a Mentor/Mentee game.  This game is designed for Mentors to work with the Mentees in an effort to improve their bidding and playing of hands. The Mentor will work with the Mentee to create a Convention Card the Mentee is comfortable with. To play and be assigned a partner, you need to contact Anne Donnovin at 423-605-2996 or aadonnovin@bellsouth.net

  Mark your calendars to play in the Mentor/Mentee game at the CBC scheduled for the third Friday of each month at Noon. This is an excellent way to get help with your bridge game from a more experienced player. In these games, the Mentor will play the Convention Card used by the Mentee and help you work on anything new you’d like to add. If you would like to play in this game, you must sign up with Sandy Cervantis who will assign you a partner. You can text or call her at 423-315-1953.
