Congregation Ohev Shalom (COS) Men’s Club of Maitland, Florida is starting an online Bridge group, every Tuesday at 7:00pm and ALL are welcome to join the game. There is no age limit, no experience limit and no other forms of discrimination; only a desire to have a “FUN” time learning and playing Bridge.
All that’s required to participate is internet access and a laptop/computer to access the website and play – the screens on cell phones are too small for my vision. The game is played while on a zoom call so we can kibitz (explain, question or teach) while we play. The zoom can be on a cell phone or just leave the zoom app open in background on the same device you play on.
Bridge requires 4 people to play and no real experience is required – we can teach you. We break people up into tables of 4 and move you into separate zoom room to keep the ambient noise down while you play. We use BridgeBase.com to play and you just need to create a Bridge Base user ID. There is no cost to play or to obtain a user ID.
All levels of skills or interest are invited to play. What do you need to play, you ask?
