Tony Jackson Awarded

American Bridge Teachers Association Teacher of the Year!!!

Our Tuesday game Director and often substitute Director on our Monday and Wednesday games, Tony Jackson, has been awarded Teacher of the Year!!! 

Most of us have attended one or more of Tony’s lessons and have benefited from his wonderful teaching style.  

Here’s what one of our own had to say ..

“Tony epitomizes everything a good teacher needs to be – 

patient, exceedingly knowledgeable (without being overbearing), passionate about bridge, listens well, respectful of those with whom 

he works (acknowledging their different levels of understanding), 

always prepared and willing to work with those who request help. 

Tony raises the level of understanding of every person with 

whom he comes into contact.” – Arlene Holt, Sonoma

Practice Bridge at the Vintage House

With Arlene Holt

Thursday afternoons 1:00 - 3:00pm  

$5 Members   $10 Non-members

Practice Bridge will take it's Winter Break soon.

The last Practice Bridge session will be on 

Thursday 11/13.

Practice Bridge will resume on Thursday 1/15/2026.

 Join fellow beginning and intermediate duplicate bridge players at Vintage House on Thursday afternoons. This is a great opportunity to reinforce your play and review common bridge conventions in a non-competitive, relaxed setting.

Using pre-dealt boards, you will be able to compare your bidding and play with those who have previously played these hands in “competitive” games.
