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.
Notice of games playing Face to Face
FFBC offers an open duplicate bridge every Monday, Thursday, & Friday at 12:30 pm. We play between 20 - 24 boards
Bob Gaudet runs a Newcomer Game on Thursday mornings from 9:30 to 11:30 am. He starts with a 20-minute mini-lesson and then plays roughly 9 hands. Masterpoints are awarded. Since this is an educational opportunity, you can use your notes, and even ask questions when you get "stuck". Partners are always available.
FFBC also offers Drop-In Bridge: on Tuesday evening, 6:30 – 9:30 PM. All skill levels are invited to come and play bridge with some very friendly and welcoming players.
You will make some new friends and enjoy a relaxing evening.
The cost is $10.00 for a Duplicate Bridge Game (18-24 boards).
Coffee and snacks are provided at the duplicate games.
Where: We play in the lower level of St Camillus Church, 1175 Concord Turnpike (Route 2) in Arlington MA. Please don't park in the two rows closest to the church. There is a handicap accessible entrance with elevator on the Dow Avenue side of the church.
Fees: Games cost $10.
