Newtown Bridge Club’s Board of Directors recognizes Linda Dale Mulholland and Cornelia Guest for their dedicated efforts to make 2020’s Longest Day virtual fundraiser an outstanding success!

Our players filled 78 virtual tables in the club's fourth annual Longest Day event held Sat Jun 20 and Sun Jun 21. Combined with the donations of friends and family and proceeds from the Jun 17 virtual Scrabble tournament, over $6,000 has been raised to advance the care, support and research efforts of the Alzheimer's Association.

Play for fun with friends

It's easy to create a private table on BBO and play with 1, 2 or 3 friends. You can play at any time; the only charge is $1 to hire a robot to fill an empty seat. Click for instructions about Creating Private Tables on BBO.

COVID-19

All bridge activities at Edmond Town Hall have been suspended until the time when we can gather together again safely. We are monitoring the situation through the CDC and CT Department of Public Heath and will cooperate with all federal, state and town directives regarding public safety.

Please keep healthy! The Connecticut Department of Public Health (ct.gov/coronavirus) is a source for information and recommendations.

In the meantime, we hope to "see" all of you at the bridge table in our Virtual Club games on BBO.

Invite Friends to Play

Newtown Bridge Club members may invite friends who are not Newtown or Founders Hall players to be their partner in our Virtual Club games. This is a result of ACBL’s Visitor Policy that allows our club to admit a limited number of visitors.

To reserve a seat for your guest, email partner’s BBO name and the date and time of the game to director@newtownbridge.org.

Reservations are accepted as early as 1 week to as late as 2 hours in advance; you will receive an email confirming your reservation.

Have a guest but no reservation?

Chat with vacb107516 (the club’s host on BBO) and provide the BBO name of your partner. As long as we are within our visitor allowance, vacb107516 can unblock your guest so you can register for the game.
