BAND has two Play & Learn games a week and is now adding a third game for our newest players.  Play & Learn is a great opportunity to introduce the game to new players.  

Jane Kirby will be at BAND on Wednesday mornings from 9:30am-12pm to organize your tables, answer questions and make sure you have a great time! No partner needed!

You will be hearing more about this new game from Sharon Lux.  
In the mean time, feel free to contact Sharon with any questions.
0-5 Free-Play Punch Card

A new program for 0-5 players is up and running and it includes a free play for you!

Just ask a BAND director for your very own 0-5 punch card and present it to the director each time you play.  Once you accumulate five punches, your 6th game is free!  Already used up one punch card, just pick up another one...It's that simple.

Tips with Donna

I am often asked the following question, "How do I make my score better?" The answer is to help your partner go to the next hand and as a result you will go to the next hand as well!  

When I am coaching world-class teams at the world championships, I tell them that I will not mention the minus 1100 on board #7 but you will hear about a bad result on board #8!  Even the experts have "bad hands" but the most successful ones go to the hand better than all of the rest!

Discussions should be had at the end of the day, not the end of the hand or end of the round.  So the next time your partnership has a bad result, say, "Next hand partner and go to the next hand!"  Got questions? Email me at [email protected]
