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 URL:https://vrmnc.ca/event/social-bridge-2/2026-07-30/ CATEGORIES:Other ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://vrmnc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/VRMNC-Social-Bridge-Logo.png ORGANIZER;CN="Keith Beange":MAILTO:helmsaleee@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Vancouver:20260731T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Vancouver:20260731T120000 DTSTAMP:20260527T162503Z CREATED:20260527T162243Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260527T162503Z UID:10010879-1785492000-1785499200@vrmnc.ca SUMMARY:Coffee Chat Club DESCRIPTION:DESCRIPTION: Meet and socialize with other members\, participate in some stimulating conversation and\, of course\, sip on a cup of java (the Starbucks variety). \nWHERE: Second floor at Quality Foods View Royal\, 27 Helmcken Road (by Victoria General). \nWHEN: Every Friday 10:00am. \nWHO: Open to all VRMNC Members and Guests who may be interested in joining the club. \nBRING: $$’s to buy your coffee. \n\n \n \n \n\n \n VRMNC Coffee Chat Club\, Logo20230203 VRMNC Coffee Chat Club - Friday20230203 VRMNC Coffee Chat Club - Friday20220120 VRMNC - Coffee Chat ClubQuality Foods - Helmcken RoadCoffee Meme URL:https://vrmnc.ca/event/coffee-chat-club-3/2026-07-31/ LOCATION:Quality Foods View Royal\, 27 Helmcken Road\, Victoria\, BC\, Canada CATEGORIES:Food & Drink ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://vrmnc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/VRMNC-Coffee-Chat-Club-Logo.png ORGANIZER;CN="Dennis Aitken":MAILTO:Coffee@VRMNC.ca END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Vancouver:20260731T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Vancouver:20260731T143000 DTSTAMP:20230121T200430Z CREATED:20230118T235517Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230121T200430Z UID:10008560-1785495600-1785508200@vrmnc.ca SUMMARY:Ukrainian Billiards DESCRIPTION:DESCRIPTION: Enjoy the fun and camaraderie of shooting pool with fellow Members! Ability ranges from beginner to experienced. After the games we socialize over an optional light lunch in the Legion lounge. \nWHERE: Royal Canadian Legion\, 411 Gorge Road E.
