Fight Dementia — Play Bridge!

Welcome to Great Bay bridge!  Games start at 10:30 am (please be seated at your table by 10:20 am).  We end by 2:30 pm with a :20 lunch break at noon. We charge players $7 to play. Our Great Bay SCHEDULE has regular special games (~ extra masterpoints) and games with lots of fun. The schedule of all N.H. bridge events for 2024 displays on the NHBA web site www.nhbridge.com 

Come visit and play with us!

MONDAY April 8th GAME will be shorter than normal:  will not start a new round after 1:30 PM

There is a solar eclipse mid-afternoon that we want our players to have time to reach their destinations and be indoors, away from deleterious U/V pre- and post- the short duration of the full eclipse.

NOTE: we cancel games via EMAIL from the Club Manager when weather is too inclement for play. 
Make sure you are on our Club mailing list (if you receive our Weekly results mails, you are!)

FRIDAY GAMES were added for 2024 when the Senior Center closes on Mondays for Federal and State holidays

  Please come and enjoy a break from "Monday" bridge!

===============================================

Need a partner for the next game?

We occasionally send someone home today because that person showed up without a partner and other singles are already paired. We do not offer a standby player and the ACBL won’t allow a playing director for games larger than 15 tables. The best thing to do is to text the Club Manager ahead of time, preferably several days ahead. The Club will try to find you a partner in your experience range so you know you will be able to play when you come. The Club Manager phone and email:  substickers@gmail.com  603-609-8109

===============================================

On first Mondays in April, June, August, and October we serve complimentary PIZZA!! PIZZA!!

We salute Betty Brewster on the occasion of the presentation of the Leroy M. Lake Award by NHBA Officer, Lucia Carlisle at our May 8th club game in Portsmouth, citing  Betty's "...involvement with the distribution of funds from online games to the NH clubs ... during the pandemic" and "...superior behavior and gracious presence at the bridge table in the performance of the many tasks at the Great Bay Bridge Club.""
