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@metrocast.net  603-609-8109

On several Mondays in June, August, October and December 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.""
