Many of the members of the Lake Chapala Duplicate Bridge Club will be playing in Puerto Vallarta at the end of October through the first of November.
Regional tournaments are larger than either club games, games with your friends and neighbors, or sectional tournaments. At the regional, one plays against existing friends and new friends to be made from other parts of Mexico and from other nations. This column will report the results. Meanwhile, we hope to see many of you at our local games at Sol y Luna.
