Bridge in the Sandhills

Pinehurst Sectional Bridge Tournament

October 9–11, 2026

Here is an early update on this year's Bridge in the Sandhills Sectional in Pinehurst. We hope you'll join us for a weekend of great bridge and good friends.

Because our playing facility is relatively small, we are asking players to register in advance for each session. This will help planning.

Please download the flyer which is located in the TOURNAMENTS Section.

To Register

When you're ready, send an email to Marge Holleman, Chair at holleport@gmail.com with:

Your name(s)
ACBL number(s)
Approximate masterpoint total(s)
The session(s) you plan to play

New Sunshine Committee

The SDBPA Board of Directors is pleased to announce the formation of a Sunshine Committee. The purpose of this committee is to foster a caring and supportive community by sending sympathy, get-well, and thinking-of-you cards to members and their families during times of illness, loss, or special need.

To help us reach out in a timely and meaningful way, please notify either John or Alverna Plourde if you become aware of a member who has lost a loved one, is seriously ill or recovering from surgery, or is experiencing a personal hardship.

Alverna Plourde — aplourde18@gmail.com · (910) 668-0857
