Playing Bridge for fun

Card fans are invited to join The Perfectly Polite Bridge Group at the YMCA every Wednesday, restarting on Aug. 22. The goal is to have fun and to create an atmosphere of good sportsmanship and goodwill. Players who want to improve their game and players who haven’t played for a while are welcome. The 10 a.m. to noon session/game focuses on conventions and play of the cards for Advanced beginners and semi-intermedi- ate players. From noon to 1 to 3 p.m., the session/game focuses on beginners, but all are welcome. From 3:15 to 4:30 p.m., it will be Topic Bridge-Conventions Plus, with every hand played in a convention. The group will review bidding, play of the cards, and defense. For more information call Frank Crocker at 203-524-8032. The cost is $10 for members, or $12 for nonmembers.
