SUMMARY:Social Bridge
DESCRIPTION:DESCRIPTION: Beginners are welcome but some knowledge of the game and playing experience are required. We\, in general\, follow Standard American bidding conventions and ACBL contract bridge rules. That said\, the emphasis is on fellowship and fun\, not competition. Currently there are four groups. \nEach group consists of a core group of 8 to 10 players who meet on a regular schedule. Frequently core group players are not able to play on a given night so a list of spares is maintained for all groups and players to call upon. This gives spares many opportunities to play and to get to know other VRMNC Members. \nAnyone interested in playing in a social context is encouraged to contact the Coordinator to learn more and to put their name forward for the spares list. \nWHERE: Regular players host at their homes on a rotational basis\, occasionally use Zoom if snow etc. \nWHEN: Most groups play weekly at nights or afternoons\, some stop for summer. \nWHO: Open to all VRMNC Members. VRMNC Members wishing to play should join the spares list for opportunities to play and be positioned to join a group on a regular basis when vacancies arise. \nBRING: There are no fees to play but many groups have a $1 ante to play each evening. The proceeds are divided amongst the top two and the lowest player of the evening. The host supplies the cards\, beverages and snacks. \n\n        \n            \n                                                \n\n                                        \n                        VRMNC Social Bridge\, Logo20260615 VRMNC Annual Bridge Tournament20260615 VRMNC Annual Bridge Tournament20250729 VRMNC - Tuesday Night Bridge20250729 VRMNC - Tuesday Night Bridge20250624 VRMNC Bridge - Garage For A Change20250624 VRMNC Bridge - Garage For A Change20250616 VRMNC Bridge - Annual Tournament20250616 VRMNC Bridge - Annual Tournament\, Awards20240702 VRMNC Bridge - Ken's Hosue at Willis Point20240702 VRMNC Bridge - Ken's House at Willis Point20240617 VRMNC Bridge - Tournament\, Awards20240617 VRMNC Bridge - Tournament\, Awards20240617 VRMNC Bridge - Tournament20240617 VRMNC Bridge - Tournament20230704 VRMNC - Bridge\, Willis Point20230704 VRMNC - Bridge\, Willis Point20180625 04 VMNC 2nd Annual Social Bridge Tournament\, Game Time20180625 03 VMNC 2nd Annual Social Bridge Tournament\, Awards20180625 06 VMNC 2nd Annual Social Bridge Tournament\, First & Second Awardees20180625 01 VMNC 2nd Annual Social Bridge Tournament - Social20170626 03 Bridge Tournament20170626 02 Bridge Tournament
