It seems as if there is a bridge game every day of the week in Shelby County.

There is the Second Monday of the Month Bridge Club that used to meet on Wednesdays.

Then on Tuesdays and Fridays, there are Beginner Bridge players who want a more relaxed atmosphere and meet at the Family Activity Center at Clear Creek Park.

Another Tuesday group meets weekly at Kate’s Catering.
