Sun Lakes Duplicate Bridge 199er’s
Susan Stewart
The 99er/199er Board Representative is Susan Stewart, 480-895-6385. All games are held at Risen Savior Lutheran Church, 23914 S. Alma School Rd., unless otherwise announced.
The 0-99er Novice Group meets Thursday mornings with a special review lesson which begins at 8:15 a.m., and Director Maria Davis will provide great teaching and playing experience for all those interested in learning or coming back to the great game of bridge. Partners are suggested but not required – Newcomers are welcome and encouraged to attend and to enjoy this excellent opportunity.
The 0-199er Intermediate Group games are held on Tuesday afternoons at 1:30 p.m., and Saturday mornings at 9:00 a.m. if there is a large enough turnout, and during the snowbird season you will enjoy a large number of Intermediate players. When the Intermediate Group is too small, usually summertime, they play in the open games; however, any player is always welcome to attend all open games. All players must check in no later than 15 minutes before the start of any game in order for directors to seat you properly. However, you may be turned away if you arrive late or if the room has been filled to capacity, so it is advisable to arrive 30 minutes prior to the start of games.
