Family Friendly Bridge is excited to announce the return of Kim Gilman to Face to Face Lessons this Winter in Arlington.
Notice of games playing Face to Face
Family Friendly Bridge Club is an ACBL sanctioned duplicate bridge club in Arlington Massachusetts.
We aspire to provide the friendliest and most relaxed competitive duplicate bridge games in the greater Boston area. We want to be your club of choice!
Our games are open to all level players, with masterpoints awarded to high finishers in every stratification. We participate in The Common Game, playing the same deals as clubs all over the country. You can see how your results stack up against hundreds of other pairs, read expert hand analysis and “Kibitz the Pros.”
We especially encourage newcomers and people visiting the area to come play duplicate bridge with us.
We care about each other and our greater community. In addition to enjoying duplicate bridge games with our friends, we try to be good community citizens through club outreach and charity.
Snow Policy: When the weather forecast is predicting snow on “bridge days”, you can check the website, www.familyfriendlybridge.com . In addition, I will send an Email to notify everyone as soon as any bridge game is canceled. If Belmont Schools are closed, then The Beech St Center will be closed. Even if the game is not canceled, please use your own judgment re: whether it is safe to be on the roads during/after the storm. Your personal safety is the most important factor – you can play bridge some other day. Note: The parking situation in Belmont remains very difficult because of snow banks.
