Springtime!  Pull that fancy outfit from the closet.  Tell your partner to dress up too.  Head on over to the Iron Horse for the Bay Area’s best-dressed bridge competition, the Elegant Pairs.  Sure, we’ll take your picture … and hang it on the ‘line-up’ wall.  Certainly, we have delicious refreshments.   No, you don’t have to dress to the nines … but it just might help your bridge game.  Yes, black tie is optional, but fierce, friendly competition is run-of-the-mill.  What else?  It’s time for the Elegant Pairs.

7:30pm:  Elegant Pairs (Stratified/Open)(A, B, C, Non Life Master)  This is a single session event, with a separate section for those not dressing up.
