Our Games

Family Friendly Bridge
Arlington

​

 

It is official.  We have the approval to reopen Family Friendly Bridge Club for Face-to-Face bridge games as of Monday, June 28.

 

We will resume the physical games that were interrupted (the same games will continue to be offered on BBO for $ 7):

 

Monday, Thursday, & Friday at 12:30 PM, 24 boards, cost is $10 per player.

Tuesday Evening at 6:30 PM, 18-20 boards, cost is $10 per player.

Thursday Mornings, mini-lesson followed by 12-15 boards, cost is $10 per player

 

Note: Hospitality will not be served - no food/coffee served for at least the first few weeks.

Disinfectant and hand sanitizing supplies will be available at all times.  We are following CDC guidelines:

masks are not required if you are fully vaccinated; else a mask is strongly recommended.  We are NOT requiring

players to show proof of vaccination. The last number I heard was that 85% of persons over 65 years old are fully vaccinated.

 

Other:

The bridge game in Belmont at 266 Beech St. is Face to Face and is in full swing at this facility.  We have coffee and refreshments.  Belmont has enacted a mask mandate for inside municipal buildings.   Belmont will continue online.

 

The Winchester Bridge Club is now officially a Face-to-Face game.

 

Welcome back.  It will be so nice to see your smiling faces.

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.
