A Message to Our Members

I am pleased to announce that the ACBL has entered into a long-term agreement with Baron Barclay Bridge Supplies, a company founded in 1942 that, like the ACBL, is dedicated to providing professional service to bridge players, teachers, clubs, units and districts.

Effective Sept. 15, 2006, the ACBL Product Store will close. The ACBL has sold its inventory and the publishing rights to certain books and has granted Baron Barclay licensing rights to use the ACBL logo on certain printed materials.

We are committed to making this a seamless transition. Baron Barclay will offer great service, a 10% discount to our members, and a more complete line of books, supplies and bridge-related products. The only real change will be that you will contact Baron Barclay for your needs:

Baron Barclay Bridge Supplies
800-274-2221

This action will allow the ACBL to give greater focus to its core missions of promoting bridge, providing affordable playing opportunities in the future and supporting other existing programs.

If you have any specific concerns or questions, please call or e-mail the contacts listed below as appropriate.
