Founders Duplicate Bridge
Friday Duplicate Bridge
Moving vans are coming and going in our community. We lose
some bridge players, and we gain new members. All members are
urged to welcome any new neighbors and invite them to a game of
duplicate bridge. We waive the membership fee for the first game.
Table fees are $2 per person. The proceeds are distributed to the top
winning pairs. Single players are encouraged to contact our president,
Phyllis Skall to arrange for a partner by calling (858) 405-2684 or
email pskall13@yahoo.com. We play every Tuesday at 6 pm in the
Mykonos Room. We are not an ACBL sanctioned club but adhere to
ACBL principles and score with ACBL software.
Welcome Harold Gold to our club.
First place winning pairs for July:
July 6 Mitchell N/S Mary Sullivan / Phyllis Skall
E/W Carolyn Curtin / Marc Beardsley
July 13 Howell Harold Gold / Joan Gayer
July 20 Mitchell N/S Mary Sullivan / Phyllis Skall
E/W Irma Maston / Heidi Kuhn
July 27 Howell Arline Kennedy / Sy Singer
Top score for the month: 73.81 percent, Arline Kennedy / Sy Singer
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.
