Welcome to The Villages Duplicate Bridge Club.  Our club is located in The Villages (Florida's Friendliest Hometown) which is in central Florida.  Our ACBL sanction number is #217489.  We are in District 9, Unit 128.

The VDBC club games are open to all players.  All regular game fees are $3 per person for a Village resident and $5 per person for a guest.  We are a non-smoking club and adhere to the ACBL Zero Tolerance Policy.  The Villages’ Recreation Department requires that all persons must present either a resident or a guest pass to participate in any activities at its recreation centers.   Guest passes can be obtained at any of the Villages’ recreation centers. 

Our web site has a lot of information and you should scroll down the home page first to find out what you want and then click on the special menu buttons to obtain additional information on a specific subject.

In their recent BOD meeting, changes were made to several of the current games.  The current master schedule for December, always subject to change, is AVAILABLE.

Members should be aware of the following:

• On Monday, December 2, Sea Breeze is closed.  The open game will be combined with the popular 1500 game at Laurel Manor.  Members are encouraged to get their reservation in now.  A waiting list will most likely have to be created.
• On Tuesday, December 31, the Open and the 750 games will be combined at Lake Miona.  Again, early reservations are encouraged.
• Beginning December 1, the 0-150 separate section in both the Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon games will be eliminated.  Players are encouraged to continue playing in the 750/1500 games still available.
• Beginning Thursday, December 5, the Rohan game will convert back to an UNDER 500 game.
