| All Games and classes at J's Bridge Pad are cancelled after Lee's 10 am game on Monday, March 16 until further notice. |
Games and classes at Saint Louis Bridge Center will be suspended after the 10 am game on Friday, March 13.
The Board, like everyone else, has been closely following the Coronavirus situation. Though the number of cases in our immediate area was still relatively low up to this time, it seems prudent to suspend our play indefinitely, barring a change in conditions that warrants a modification of our plan. We will re-evaluate the situation at least weekly and hope to re-open the Center ASAP.
We will work to keep you informed by email, on our website, via Facebook and through announcements on our phone answering machine at (314)569-1430.
We would like to commend all who had been playing the previous few weeks prior to our closing, for how they have respected each other and improved their hygiene. Hopefully, we can carry this forward when we start playing again. |
Most if not all of the local bridge playing community is just like me and is basically under house arrest. What I would really like to do is get out and play two or even three sessions of bridge a day at Unit 143's Regional in August. I miss you my friends, and I miss live bridge. Unfortunately, this is not going to happen. The Unit 143 board has decided to cancel your August 2020 Regional. Everything I have read about the coronavirus (my wife and daughter are nurses and keep me well informed) warns that the most dangerous activities are those where crowds of people are in close proximity to each other in a confined space over an extended period of time. One of the top activities that must define is a live bridge tournament. Like you, I look forward to the time bridge tournaments are the safe places we have experienced for many years. Until then, please stay safe.
