Do Not Park in the 9 reserved spaces in front of the church office.

If you can't find a parking place in the front, park in the rear of the building. (drive around to the right). There is an entrance to the right of the Church school entrance. There is a flight of stairs to the playing area.

Printed Directions distributed at the game

 

Overheard at the club, when one player was complaining to a friend about the verbal abuse from their partner. The friend responded "You must like it, you keep doing it"

"You should play bridge for fun. The instant you find yourself playing the game for any other reason, you should pack it up and go on to something else."
Charles H. Goren, 1901 - 1991

Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing it is stupid. - Albert Einstein
