March Mentor Mentee Game Winners!

Artist-in-Residence!

Collectively we have LOTS of talents at Clear Lake Bridge Club! Did you know John Taylor is an artist?!  He shared one of his works with the club (we hear he held back on his true masterpieces), 

 

Founding President Nelson Brown

 

A few of Nelson's thoughts 25 years after the semi-official start of CLBC:

"We have a great community that still thrives in large part due to the small and large volunteer efforts that work so well.  

From the beginning it was all about our volunteers.  Rachel Johnston sent her housekeeper once a month to clean the building and celebrated each holdiay with decorations. Directors were volunteers. Growing through the purchase of the building, volunteers did most of the maintenance including roof repairs, toilet stoppages, tree planting and cleaning. Keeping us spoiled are members who do the shopping for snacks, drinks and bridge supplies.  Our sense of community is sustained by volunteers who manage an array of regular social events celebrating holidays, special programs and rank advancements. As a thriving center for bridge, we modernized along the way with members installing hardware and software that are state-of-the-art. Through it all, introducing new players with successful teaching and special programs including Mentor/Mentee games and monthly 'Breakfast, Bridge and a Lesson'.

Most of the time, members were not asked...they just jumped in and got the jobs done.

And many thanks for members who served on the Board and managed as President."

8 is Enough Team Game…great for Mentee/Mentors!

  

Eight is Enough Team Game!

 Get your Teams together using the below format

 

All players are assigned a number 1, 2, or 3 depending on their masterpoint level:

 

Level 1  

       Players with less than 750 mps

Level 2  

       Players with 750 to 2000 mps

Level 3  

       Players with over 2000 mps

  • No team can have more than 8 points for members on their team.
  • If two players are designated as ‘3,’ both of their teammates would have to be designated a ‘1’ to keep the total below eight.
  • A '1' and a '3' could play with two '2s'.
  • Or four players who are all ‘2’ could be on the same team.
  • It's okay for a team to total less than eight, but not more.
