Coldwater Bridge Club News: aed SHAW In previous articles we have named given the location, phone number, address, and approximate cost of playing at various ACBL clubs in this general locality. Now we are going to offer some advice as to the type of bridge and where and when you may play the kind of game that suits you. The advice will be limited, as I have never played at the Collingwood Club, but I have been told by others that it is a fine club to attend, although I have certainly played in Barrie, I will restrict comments to the Orillia, Parry Sound, Washago, and Coldwater Clubs. For many, the choice may be restricted to when you can play. If you can only play, or wish to play, in the afternoon, there is Monday or Thursday. Of course, you may play both afternoons if you wish. Coldwater plays on Monday, Orillia on Thursday. In Orillia, with enough players they may play two sections, both duplicate, one Novice and the other open. At Coldwater it might be advisable to obtain a schedule, because they play an ordinary con- tract type of game on one Monday afternoon, and a Novice Duplicate the next. The Novice game is for non-ACBL players, or for ACBL players who hold less than 20 master points. But anyone can play in the contract game. If you wish to play in the evening, there is more choice. On Monday, Parry Sound or Cold- water; Tuesday Orillia; Wednesday Parry Sound; Thursday Washago; Friday Parry Sound or Orillia. All of these games are "Open"' Duplicate. The larger number of tables could be at Orillia, perhaps Parry Sound, but Washago or Cold- water usually have good turn outs. The first thing to do is to analyze yourself. What bridge you play depends upon your nature, previous bridge experience, how good you are or wish to be, and have you played duplicate in the past. The technical im- provement in bridge in the last twenty years make the game much more exciting for those who pursue excellence and who really categorize the many possible meanings of an auction call. The technical improvements have not been limited to the language of the auction. New methods of score comparisons have been devised. Many have elevated the players having the greater skill to the detriment of the less skilled. For this reason many new players may wish to enter clubs which provide special facilities for a gradual transition. If you have experience in duplicate, enjoy playing against players with the latest technical knowledge, concentrate on the game, go straight into "Open" Duplicate games. Do not feel that you must comprehend all of the "newer" systems. If you use common sense, play good _ rubber bridge, have an ex- cellent understanding with your partner, you may be able to compete and perhaps defeat the duplicate players.

If you are the more usual type of rubber bridge player, if your purpose is to have long- lasting and enjoyable entertainment, it might be prudent to begin your adventures into the world of club bridge in a more sedate manner, perhaps by playing contract bridge in a club that offers this program. Both Washago and Coldwater will give a new player a friendly welcome. Parry Sound you have not had previous duplicate experience, cannot attend in the afternoon, make up a party of 4 players and give one of the clubs a phone call.
