Thank you to all bridge players who braved the weather and came to our Winter Sectional. Winter is a great time to play bridge. It is also a good time to consider taking a class to up your skill level. Another good way to improve is to read a bridge book. Several of the Unit 143 bridge clubs have bridge books available to buy or to borrow from their library. The club directors and owners would be glad to help you pick out one or more that meet your needs and interests. You can also look online with Barclays, Bridge World, and Amazon. Please consider inviting some of your friends and relatives to try bridge. Many who give it a try will get "hooked" just like you and I are.
