THE PERFECTLY POLITE BRIDGE GROUP

 

We bring a new culture to the old game of Bridge!

The Perfectly Polite Bridge Group brings a new culture to Bridge games. We strive to promote an atmosphere of good sportsmanship and goodwill between partners and their opponents. Our goal is to play relaxed Bridge for fun and social enjoyment.

Note: You are not required to be a member of the Greenwich YMCA to play Bridge with us. However, all are required to show their Covid-19 Vaccination card the first time they enter the Bridge Room on the 3rd floor.

Questions? Please call Frank Crocker, Instructor and Moderator at (203) 524-8032.
