GREAT NEWS! We found a new venue for our Sunday unit games that can hold both our 699er and Open players comfortably. Two spacious well-lit rooms, an adjoining kitchen with a pass-through window, easily accessible from the I-5 and I-805 - what more could we ask for?
The Standley Park Rec Center is located at 3585 Governor Drive, San Diego 92122. Parking in the front lot will be a challenge BUT there is plenty of parking at the Spreckles Elementary School next door. Turn onto Stadium Street which is before the rec center and make your first left into the school's parking lot.
Effective immediately, November 2nd, we will be at the new location. Game time is the usual 1PM with scrumptious food served around 12:30. Lessons will still be at 12:30 by Bridget who will serve as our amazing partnership chair. As usual, you can contact her at bridgefun1430@gmail.com.
We look forward to hosting you in this new location which we hope we can make our long-term home.
DIRECTIONS: From I-5: Take CA-52 going East, and take the first exit Regents Road. Make a left onto Regents, go up the hill, and make your first right at the traffic light onto Governor Dr. You will reach the Rec Center after the second light at Stadium St, on the right after the ball field.
From I-805: Take CA-52 going West, and take the Regents Road exit. Make a right onto Regents, go up the hill, and make your first right at the traffic light onto Governor Dr. You will reach the Rec Center after the second light at Stadium St, on the right after the ball field.
Help us turn this new location into a great success! We'll be planning a Grand Opening soon!

2025 State of the Unit
On Sunday May 18, unit president Lamya Agelidis summarized the unit's current state of affairs. Even though the fiscal year has not yet ended (June 30th), the Board is pleased to announced that the unit is financially healthy with a current balance of $55,000+ and a profit of $800 in revenue over expenses. Our table count has averaged 15+ tables, same as FY 2024. Our membership has slightly declined from 519 in 2024 to 504 in 2025. Our NLM sectional at Redwood in October was very well received and we are scheduling another one for October 2025. Similarly, our Open Sectional at Oasis in North County was a success and a joint sectional is planned again for Aug 15-16 at the Soledad Club. The Board of Directors is expected to stay the same, with board members Lamya Agelidis, John Boackle, Greg Chaffee, Marjorie O'Malley, Bridget Poizner, Kathy Byrne, Jane Petering, Mark Hartzell and Robin Rodger.
Masterpoint awards were presented for the "big" milestones (Ruby and Gold Life Master), and recipients of the unit masterpoint races in 4 categories were also recognized. A lovely catered lunch was served, as well as a celebratory cake during the break. Attached are selected pictures taken from this 19.5 table game (11.5 in the Open section, and a whopping 8 tables in the 699er section!)
Our unit hosts the first and third Sunday unit games at the Standley Park Rec Center, and alternate 5th Sundays. Lunch is served at 12:30, followed by bridge at 1 pm. We are thrilled to offer our 699er game, which is preceded by a mini-lesson at 12:30. If you plan on joining us at the 699er game, please contact Bridget at bridgefun1430@gmail.com.

Online Directory Drive
One thing we are certain of is that everybody likes a complete phone and email directory. Our goal is to have one San Diego directory shared by the five units in San Diego County. It is online, since a paper directory is not cost effective unfortunately. With your help, we can get there. Again, we can't publish your contact details without your written approval, so just send an email to info@sandiegobridge.com contact one of your Board members to share any contact changes with us.
To make the best of BridgeResults features we recommend that you register your email address (if you have not done so already). This will allow you to receive notifications by email when the results are published, to have your name highlighted when you look at the results, and many other features.
Enjoy reading about the achievements of your fellow players, and so much more!

Honoring Deceased Members
From time to time, our board may choose to honor a deceased player with a tribute write-up, often prompted by a volunteer's interest in preparing the piece and providing photos. While there is no formal selection process or preference regarding who is featured, we welcome and encourage submissions from any unit member who wishes to write a remembrance for a fellow player. These tributes will be posted on our website, along with accompanying photos when appropriate.
Additionally, we hold an annual Tribute Unit Game in memory of all players who have passed.
For any questions, please use the "Contact Us" button on the website.
