Want to try your hand at this endlessly fascinating game?  Eager to hone your skills after not having played for a while?  Local resident John Dippel offers a “Bridge Basics”  group at the library every Wednesday afternoon at 2:00 PM.  Learn to evaluate your cards, bidding fundamentals, and playing the hand.

If you want to join, send an email to  jvdippel@gmail.com.  Please include your phone and email address, as well as the level of bridge you’re interested in.

 Dippel, an historian and author, returned to playing bridge when he moved to Salisbury ten years ago.  He has been playing regularly in town ever since.
