GO GET'EM, Novices!

Danville Bridge Club to move to DVBC June 21, 2012
Julia (Judy) Lowe has already let her Danville group know about the
exciting change to take place at DVBC. This is to let the rest of you
know that the game she and her husband, Bob Collins, have worked very
hard to build, for 15 years, will be moving to DVBC as of June 21st!!
It will continue to be their game. Julia, Bob and I agree this will
be a win-win situation for us -- and you. No more concerns about
parking; easy access to the club; best of all, much less schlepping of
bridge supplies for Julia and Bob. A WARM WELCOME, J & B Bridge Game.

Pre-Dealt Hands
Since acquiring a dealing machine in 2010, almost all games have used pre-dealt hands with printed hand records for players to review after the game. This is a terrific learning tool for bridge. A big THANK YOU to Unit 499, for assisting with the purchase of the machine and for subsidizing half the cost. Grant Robinson prepared detailed procedures for creating and uploading game results that include hand records.
Dori Dolgin is now helping to generate the hands with the dealing machine. She does a terrific job!
