Bridge Beginners & Beyond

Our group meets weekly on Mondays between 12:30-3:30 pm to play bridge, learn from each other, and enjoy each other’s company. Our guide in the modern approach is the Audrey Grant Standard. We are low-key, talking about bidding, replaying the hands and helping one another learn. No pressure…just a fun group! You must, however, have a working knowledge of bridge basics in the current style of Audrey Grant or similar author/teacher as this group is not for someone who has never played before. We keep score properly which helps our bidding skills.

An email invitation is sent out every Wednesday and you must respond by Saturday at the latest if you wish to play on Monday. The earlier you reply, the better the chances of being on the list to play. You will receive an email indicating your response was received. We use “first come, first served” in signing up to play until we have full tables. Those who sign up after that will be put on a sub list and will be informed of that. The number of tables is NOT limited as long as there are four people for each. Consider joining us on Monday afternoons.   We encourage anyone interested to get in touch, come out and meet us and observe play.

Bridge Intermediate

Intermediate Bridge is a social bridge game group for intermediate players. We meet on the 1st Tuesday of the month.  When meeting in person, we start play, break for lunch, and resume playing after lunch. Format varies, but we play in tables of 4 and sometimes require a minimum number of players to hold an event. Names will be added to the list in order of RSVP receipt. If tables are full, you will be placed on the list of substitutes for that month. Check with us to make sure your name is on the email list, and feel free to contact us with any questions.

We are currently meeting at Caliente Grill, which has graciously extended an offer for us to play at their restaurant. It is located at 907 Bay Ridge Rd., Annapolis MD 21403 (410-626-1444).  All players are expected to purchase lunch. Delicious food and wonderful service!! Join us!

Mah Jongg

Mah Jongg is a fun game played with tiles, which are drawn and discarded until a player makes a winning hand that they have chosen from the official card and exclaims, "Mah Jongg!" It involves skill, strategy, and a bit of luck. The Mah Jongg group plays every Monday from 1:00- 4:00 pm. We meet at members' homes to play and socialize. New and experienced players are welcome; we will teach new players. We play National Mah Jongg rules.

Siamese Mah Jongg

This group is for experienced Mah Jongg players who want to stretch their minds and Mah Jongg playing skills. Siamese Mah Jongg was created in April 2015 by Gladys Grad when two players wanted to play. Each player plays with two hands and winning requires a player to have two winning Maj Jongg hands. The game can be played with two to four players. The game has since been formalized with cards and rules.

If enough players join, we hope to get started in October 2021. Our group plans to meet on Thursdays from 12:30-4:00 pm. We will meet at members’ homes to play and socialize. Due to the complexity of the game, we can only include experienced Mah Jongg players. We play Siamese Mah Jongg rules (https://siamesemahjongg.com).
