Bridge

General

Hello Fellow Bridge Players and welcome to our recently created page on the Y's Men website!

The Y's Men play Contract Bridge twice a week on Mondays and Fridays.

The Monday game is open to a wide range of experience, from beginners to more knowledgeable players that are interested in playing in a less competitive environment. It takes place in the Westport Center for Senior Activities from 12:45 to 4:00 pm and the Director is Lawrence Waterbury (203-226-9364).

The Friday game is for experienced players interested in more competitiveness. The venue is the Bedford Room at the Family Y from 12:45 to 4:00 pm. Bill Murray (203-259-5527) is the Director and Mario Sa Couto (203-227-4077) and Bob Sussman (203-226-1681) the Assistant Directors.

Typically there are three playing seasons for Friday Bridge: the Fall Season (from the first Friday in September to the second Friday in December), the Winter/Spring Season (from the first Friday in January to the last Friday in May)and the Summer Season (from the first Friday in June to the last Friday in August).

At the beginning of each Season players for the Friday game are registered as Regular or Substitute Players. Regular Players are expected to play every Friday or, in case they can't play, to notify the Director or one of the Assistant Directors not later than the prior Thursday evening. Substitute Players will be contacted as needed to fill vacancies.
