Our First Game On Amherst College Campus

 

College Games

Yan Drabek

On March 25, 2023 the Northampton Bridge Club offered its first club game on campus. We had total of 8.5 tables at play with 13 players from the Amherst College Bridge Club, 18 from the Northampton Bridge club and three special guests from Shrewsbury, Victor Xiao and his sons Eric and Jeff, the two youngest North American bridge champions. I have no doubt in my mind that some of the players present here today will become world champions one day, and their pictures will be on the ACBL magazine cover!

Thank you all for coming!

Thank you Philippe for directing, and thank you Judy Larsen and Sheila Ryan for bringing delicious home baked goodies! Thank you Tom Ye for coordinating this event with us, and thank you Michael Xu for starting the student club on campus!

Future Games

Our second college game will be played on April 23, Sunday at 4 pm at the same venue, the Amherst College Powerhouse on 10 East Drive.

Future games are planned for every second Sunday at 4 pm, starting September 10 2023. We plan to offer this game on campus year round except June, July and August. So for the rest of 2023, the dates are:

September 10 at 4pm

October 8 at 4pm

November 12 at 4pm

December 10 at 4pm

Please mark your calendars!

I hope you had fun today and will join us again!









Seven pairs from our game made it to top 20 on CommonGame among 16 clubs. Check this out:
Well done!
