Bridge Manitoba will be holding its Annual General Meeting at Soul Sanctuary on Saturday, June 6th. If you are interested in a position on the board, please contact any board member by no later than May 23rd.

Bridge Manitoba held its Spring Fling event last Saturday and it was a resounding success! 24 tables of players came out to our game and even more joined us for the dinner afterwards. The game was fun, the food was delicious, and a great time was had by all. Results for the game can be found here under Friday Afternoon Pairs..
Sincere thanks to the many people who made this event such a success: the volunteers who helped with various tasks including setup/cleanup, registration, bartending, raffle ticket sales, and food service, Jacqueline Meyers for preparing salad for the large crowd, our local experts who offered a free game to raffle ticket winners, those who donated prizes for the raffles, those who brought desserts, MC John Hindle, and our lovely director Shirley Galler. An extra special thanks goes to Leslie Speirs for her outstanding job in organizing and running this event!

We'd still like to see more players for our Helen Shields Rookie-Master game on Monday, April 13th at 6:30 pm (registration at 6:15)! This is a Canada-wide game run by the Canadian Bridge Federation and named after a well-known teacher and promoter of duplicate bridge to newer players. In this game, "rookies", defined as players with 100 masterpoints or less, are partnered with "masters", defined as players with over 100 masterpoints. Players across the country play the same hands, and printed hand analyses prepared by top Canadian players are provided after the game. The pair with the best percentage score in Canada is declared National Winners and receives a trophy. The pairs with the top percentage score in each Zone receive a plaque. All club winners receive certificates. 
This is a fun and educational event and we encourage both rookies and masters to come out! If you are interested, please contact Dave West at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or 204-255-5823, or Lyle Boerchers at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or 204-223-1575. 

Please note that due to increased sanction fees for this game, card fees will be $10. 
Also note that although there is a masterpoint cut off of 100, the real intention is that the player be fairly new to the game of duplicate bridge. Players that have let their ACBL membership lapse or have not been remitting master points for recording, although below the 100 master point level, do not necessarily fit the definition of “rookie”. Club managers or game directors may prohibit a pair from playing in this game, if they feel that the partnership does not include a player that fits the definition of a “Rookie”.
