Welcome Summer!
The summer bridge season got off to a roaring start at the end of May. I wish to send out HUGE thanks to Kathy Pollock and Joyce Greenspan
for a wonderful and successful job on the Future Stars Sectional
(non-life master sectional) that was held May 30 and 31. With a
count of 51 tables for the two day event, many silver points were
awarded. A special thanks to all who helped out to make this happen.
The Unit has a full slate of events for this summer season. Highlights here but look for full information on this web site.

Welcome
to the Western New York Unit 116 website. Our unit of over
450
dedicated bridge players is part of the American Contract Bridge
League’s District Five. Geographically, we encompass the
counties
of Erie and Niagara, at the eastern end of Lake Erie and western end of
Lake Ontario, in New York State. We often have players from
across the Canadian border playing at our clubs.
Our goal is to
promote bridge and support local bridge clubs.
We have six open, active clubs. We host three sectionals each year –
January,
April/May, and September – as well as a Non-Life Master sectional in
the summer. The District Five Regional is held at the end of
October and famously titled “Spooktacular”. Numerous unit
games
are held throughout the year.
We publish a
bi-monthly newsletter,
Bridge Buff,
for and about its members. It regularly includes extensive
interviews with several members, an interesting bridge hands and
analysis, and perhaps a good recipe enjoyed at a Unit game.
The "Bridge Buff" issues were retrieved
(thank you
Kathy Pollock and Alex Kowal) starting
with issues back in the past. You can read old and
current issues to see where
we
were and where we are going as a bridge community. There was a gap in
publishing from March to October 2007, when the bridge community was
torn apart by controversy and the Buff was on hold.
Help preserve the bridge history of Unit 116 by downloading the files
and saving them - you will never know when and who from the future
generations will read them.
