What a fun group! Bob Smith gives a lot to bridge in this area, and is even building a club in a house for the future. Today I played in Manchester Center at an Eagles Lodge with twelve tables. Half of the lodge is a bridge club and the other half is a bar. My partner was Barbara Cross, one of the founders of bridge in Manchester. Manchester and The Mountains DBC boasts the title of “Vermont Friendly Bridge,” and I can say that I would definitely enjoy a return visit.
After the game we migrated from club to bar with relative ease and worked on handling the World’s problems.
