There will be no June issue of the Advocate. The next issue will be published in August 2020.
Until our clubs and tournaments are operating again, we hope you'll enjoy playing online in our three District 8 virtual clubs on Bridgebase.com :
♣ St. Louis Bridge Collective -- 12 weekly sessions (open, 499er and 299er).
♣ Central & Southern Illinois Collective -- 7 weekly sessions (open, 499er and 299er) plus free online lessons and BBO tutorials.
♣ Northern Illinois Virtual Clubs -- 12 weekly sessions (open and 499er) offered by Rockford, Crystal Lake & St. Charles clubs.
Your local club managers have put in a lot of work to offer these games, which award a 50-percent masterpoint bonus over regular club rating.
Plus, every time you play in a virtual club game, approximately 80 percent of your entry fee is returned to your local clubs to help cover expenses until they can reopen.
Thank you to all who have been supporting our virtual clubs. If you'd like to learn more and join the games, follow the links above and see these articles in this issue of the newsletter:
