Live 0-200 Lesson & Game
Come back to the Center, meet wonderful new people, find new partnerships, enhance your bridge skills, and find out what you’ve been missing while we were closed down! The Friday morning lessons and games are intended for players who have completed beginning bridge lessons, are coming back to the game, or for those players that would like a refresher. Half-hour review lessons are given before each game. We start at 9:00 AM sharp.
In addition to our usual lessons, we also offer a Barometer Game on the last Friday of the month. A unique way of combining playing with education. After each round, the boards you just played are reviewed. Discussion includes bidding and what to lead. They are our most popular Friday morning game.
No partner needed. We guarantee you will play. This is a very fun and friendly group. The more you play, the more comfortable you will become with the bidding and the play of the hand. Contact Susan Bristol at bristolsg949@gmail.com or Trudi Hanscom at t.hanscom@live.com for more information.

Most bridge centers never see World Class players in their midst. We have the good fortune of welcoming not only our resident World Class Mark Itabashi, but also his frequent partner Ifti Baqai.
While tournament play was slowed down by the pandemic, Ifti has become a good friend to SOCBC, visiting us more often and giving us a glimpse of the game at its highest level.
As a member of the Pakistani Seniors team that won the Asian Championship last December, he will compete in Italy at the Bermuda Bowl this March. He is an ACBL Grand Life Master.
Ifti will be teaching 3 classes on LEADS and CARDING. Mark your calendars for: May 19, June 2 and June 9. EVERYONE welcome – all levels.
