Paul Bacon 1948 - 2022

We are very sad to report that Northampton Bridge Club member Paul Bacon has died. A Diamond Life Master, Paul was a longtime member of the club, and he rarely missed a game on Tuesday night and Wednesday afternoon. Paul played his last games with his long time partner Philippe Galaski, and two of his many students Liz Hildebrandt and Yan Drabek. Paul will be greatly missed!

The funeral will be held on Wednesday, March 16th at 11 AM at the All Saints Church located at 17 North Street in Ware, MA. It will be followed by a graveside ceremony at the New Saint William cemetery nearby. People are also invited to join the family at Teresa's Restaurant at 315 Palmer Rd, Ware.

Bid what you have. Do not play with fear! ------ Paul Bacon

NOTE: The Northampton Bridge Club's Wednesday game on March 16th at 1PM has been cancelled!

Pembury Bridge Club Schedule

Due to Massachusetts relaxations of the COVID restrictions, we can now return to more comfortable game conduct. We are still requiring proof of COVID vaccination. You can show it as you enter, or you can email me a picture of your vaccination card. Last Wednesday, I was about to send a player home due to not showing me her vaccination card, but she looked through her pocketbook more thoroughly and found it! For the health of all of us, we are only providing bridge to fully vaccinated players. To be fully vaccinated, you must have received vaccination shots and waited two weeks after the last shot. Please do not try to attend if you cannot show documentation. Once you have shown your documentation on your first visit, you do not need to bring it again.
