Welcome back to Year 4 of the UCSB Bridge Club!

It is a brave new world, but Bridge Club is still here to help you through it. While Andrew’s homemade cookies are not in the cards for the time being, we still have the great camaraderie you all have come to know and love. Using Bridge Base Online and Zoom, we have been able to make our digital transition as seamless as possible. I hope many of you will join us in the weeks and months ahead as we navigate these trying times.

There are many opportunities available for competitive bridge playing this year! If you would like to play as a sub in the Santa Barbara-area online bridge games, allowing you to play with your friends and earn masterpoints for free, reach out to Andrew (ucsbbridge@gmail.com). In addition, the Online Junior Bridge League (https://sites.google.com/view/ojblsite/home?authuser=0) is hosting matches for the foreseeable future against other young bridge players. If you are a current student or under 26, you are eligible to play! Again, let Andrew know if you are interested.

Stay tuned for more news about the ACBL’s College Bridge Bowl qualifying matches, which will be held early next year.
