Once again we are offering a free session for 299er pairs on Friday afternoon.   Please note players must have an ACBL membership number.  A free one-time membership is available to allow new members to try the benefits of membership for 120 days.  It is available at acbl.org/membership.

Regina is lovely in May and we extent a special invitation to visitors.  A rate of $109 is available at the Royal Wyndham Hotel for rooms with one or two queen beds.  Contact the hotel prior to April 19 at 1-800-853-1181 with Group Code 051024BRI.

This is a locally sanctioned tournament with 80% silver and 20% black. Entry fees will be cash only.   As usual, expect friendly players and warm hospitality.

We will have a sign up sheet at the club about Sunday lunch to help us plan for attendance.  Visiting players are encouraged to contact me so that we can roll out the red carpet and be prepared for your arrival.  This is not a commitment just an indication to help us with planning.
 

Regards,

Bridge Manitoba hosted its Helen Shields Rookie Master game on April 2nd and it was a great success! 33 brave rookies came out to play with 33 masters, and a great time was had by all. Congratulations to National Champions Pat MacCrimmon and Gary Parker, who came in first across Canada with 68.86%! Congrats also go to E/W first place club winners John Lamarche and Gim Ong, as well as Paulette and Jacques Desaulniers, and Marlene Pontifex and Roxana Dragan, who all made it in to the top 20 nation-wide! You've done Bridge Manitoba proud.

Sincere thanks to all that came out, to Dave West for organizing and directing this event, and to Jacqueline Meyers for looking after snacks. We look forward to seeing you all again in our next Rookie Master game in the fall!
