David Moss Memorial Game Jan 11th

Posted on January 3, 2026 by Lee Lin

Sunday, Jan. 11 at 11am, arrive by 10:45am

Join us for a game to celebrate the memory of David Moss! The GNYBA, Honors, and David’s family are hosting the game at Honors.

David was a great supporter of bridge in New York City and he’ll be missed. According to David’s short Bridge Winners bio, “Began playing bridge when I was 9. My father was impatient because he needed a 4th to join my two older brothers and spare my mother the pain of playing with us. I have been playing in NYC since 1995. I was GNYBA Unit President and a member of the ACBL board.”

It is an individual game; you will switch partners every few hands. We are going with an individual game rather than a traditional pairs game to allow for maximal swapping of David stories. You do not need to come with a partner and won’t stay with one if you do bring one.

You are welcome regardless of your bridge skill; fee is $10

This game is about community and celebrating David more than about competition. We want everyone who wants to be there to be there. We will have bagels and bridge and conversation.

See you soon!

Looking forward to trying out the new experimental Brackted Pairs format today and hope to see many of you there. Also, tomorrow begins the first ever two-day Swiss held during our GNYBA Winter Regional (at least first ever in the recent few decades). Exciting times when every day is slightly different.

NAP Flight B Prelim Results

Posted on October 26, 2025 by Lee Lin

Here are the results from Flight B. One significant innovation was start time: by starting at 10am, the morning finished at 1pm with the director having discretion over the afternoon starting time. In this case, the District strongly favored a short lunch break with everyone starting back up at 2pm. The entire day wrapped up just after 5pm.

Prelim Results D24 NAP-B Representatives:

Michael Schwartz and Janie Woo ($1400 travel award)
Sam Bellows and Wendy Nickerson ($600 travel award)
Richard Kassar and Shlomit Rind (3rd place)
Lee Lin and Vladimir Kolbun (4th place)

Alternates:

Yuchen Xu and Leon Yu
Michael Krevor and Charles Bilich
Barbara Ullman and Samuel Kopel
Laszlo Seress and John Moscow

Unit Annual Membership Meeting 2025

Posted on October 24, 2025 by GNYBA

The GNYBA invites all active members in Unit 155 to attend the annual membership meeting. As usual, for purposes of obtaining an easy quorum and also recognizing few people would come any other time, we will hold the meeting during our December regional.

Specifically, the meeting will begin at Saturday, December 27th at 2:50pm at the New York Marriott Marquis – 1535 Broadway, on the 7th floor in the main playing room. We expect the meeting will be shorter than 10 minutes, but many unit officers and board members will be present if anyone has questions to ask afterward and prior to the beginning of the next session.

The primary agenda of the meeting is to confirm the board and officer slate for 2026. While the nominating committee will propose most board positions and officer posts, any active member in ACBL Unit 155 is eligible to join the board. According to the bylaws, there are a few vacant seats before we reach our maximum of 30 board members.

If you are interested in joining the board, you may obtain 50 signatures from active unit members and submit the petition to our secretary or president. A potentially easier path is to simply talk to your favorite board member and have them circulate your name.
