  The 2022 Western Mass Sectional is in the books and it was a successful return of our Sectional. We had a total of  22 tables  in play on Saturday and  13 tables  on Sunday - more than we had hoped for. Other than the delayed lunch delivery on Saturday the tournament was run smoothly and everyone had a good time. Thank you players!  Thank you organizers for all the hard work you put in!

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.
