38 | OHCC LIVING | APRIL 2020 | Founders Duplicate Bridge Friday Duplicate Bridge Recently we have experienced a decline in participation in our Tuesday night game. Some members prefer to play only 18 boards and get home by 9 pm. Our president, Phyllis Skall decided to call for a vote on the issue. The majority of players at a pre-game meeting on Feb. 11 voted for 18 boards rather than the customary 21 boards, playing a Howell movement. We urge players to arrive by 6:15 pm so we can assess whether we play a Howell or Mitchell movement and start the game promptly at 6:30 pm. If players arrive just a couple of minutes before game time the process of setting out guide cards and boards gets delayed. If you need a partner, contact Phyllis Skall via phone (858) 405- 2684 or email pskall@yahoo.com. We offer a Duplicate Bridge game that combines the superior scoring of Duplicate Bridge but also has the friendlier and non- aggressive attitude of home style Rubber Bridge. With Duplicate Bridge, your true opponents are the pairs that hold the same cards as you would rather than your opponents at the table. We are not an ACBL game and for that, we not only offer an extremely reasonable game price of just $2, but also give cash awards to the winners. If you are interested, please call John Gates at (760) 295-5885, the president of this bridge club, to see if this type of game might meet your expectations. We are relatively small and have anywhere from five to eight tables. The games are at 1 pm on the second, fourth, and fifth Fridays of the month in Mykonos. You do not have to join this club to play your first game, however if you decide to join the annual dues are $6. Feb. 4: Howell Benno Rayhrer / Gisela Rayhrer Feb. 11: Howell Ted Mitchell / Tim Rogers Feb. 18: Howell Mary Sullivan / Nancy Busher Feb. 25: Howell Irma Maston / Heidi Kuhn High score for the month: 65.83% Mary Sullivan / Nancy Busher February Winners bingo BINGO is back!
