Springtime Bridge
By the time this article is published we will be experiencing our last day of the Dogwood tournament. Many are taking part for the first time in the Swiss Teams event. I hope you have a great time. Next week we will be able to give you the overall results for our Salisbury players
Over the past few months there has been an increase in interest for our duplicate games. So many people are having fun coming out, making new friendships and enjoying the competition. If you can play bridge but don’t know the duplicate form, Carol and Harold Winecoff are still conducting lessons every Friday morning from 10: a.m. to 12:30 p.m. They are excellent teachers. To contact them for precise information about the lessons, email WNCFbrdg@carolina.rr.com
