RA Duplicate Bridge Club

We are happy to announce the in-person return of RA Duplicate Bridge Club (RADBC) activities on Thursdays from 12:45pm to 3:45pm beginning this September at the RA Centre. We are starting slowly to give us the opportunity to understand your new post-pandemic playing routines and to complement the existing duplicate bridge community by adding new games scheduled for a time when there are currently none available.  Our hope is that we will welcome back a great number of players and be able to expand strategically over time.
