We are an ACBL sanctioned duplicate bridge club located in beautiful Woodbury, Minnesota, just east of the Twin Cities.
We meet three times a week to play duplicate bridge. Our regular game days are Monday, Wednesday and Thursday.
In between regular games, we also offer “chat bridge” with informal lessons on Tuesdays. This is a great way for newer players (or those who want to improve their skills) to learn to play under the guidance of more experienced players. “Chatters” can ask the experts questions about how to bid a hand and how to play during the game, and then get help analyzing the hands afterwards.
Come alone or with a partner. Don’t worry if you don’t have a partner, we’ll find one for you!
Locations
Our permanent location is at Central Park Woodbury (8595 Central Park Place, Woodbury), which is currently undergoing renovation and expansion. We hope to get back there sometime in 2025.
Meanwhile, we are meeting at Shawnee Park (6515 Scheel Drive, Woodbury).
We also offer one game per week at the American Legion (2678 7th Ave E, North St. Paul).
Mondays at Shawnee Park
Game starts at 12:00 noon, with registration from 11:30am to 11:45am. Please try to arrive no later than 11:45am so that we can set up the game properly. Game fees are $2 per person.
Tuesdays “Chat Bridge” at Shawnee Park
Chat Bridge begins at 9:30am with a short lesson from one of our experienced players. Topics are generally in response to prior questions from chatters on subjects they want to know more about. The lesson is followed by an informal session of duplicate bridge, in which players are divided up into pairs and play hands from bridge boards using bidding boxes. Mentors circulate around the room, and players are free to ask questions about bidding and play, both during and after each hand is played. It’s a fun way to learn serious bridge!
Wednesdays at the American Legion
Game starts at noon, with registration beginning at 11:00am. Please try to arrive no later than 11:45am so that we can set up the game properly. The Legion has a kitchen and a bar and the food is great! Game fees are $4 per person for club members, $5 per person for non-members. (You do not have to be a member to play at the Legion.)
