What's Burning @ B I D...

~TOUCH OF FIRE~
Welcome BidWhist Family

This is our 17th year on Bid and the beginning of another era of Bid. As we continue to grow here at Bid, we will try to send our newsletter to keep you inform on any and all accoplishments.

Here at Bid it’s all about "YOU" our Players and we try to do everything within our means to make Bid a place where you can come 'play bid' and chill.

We are so excited about the great ideas we have planned for you! The first of many is to give you, the players, an opportunity to try out new receipe's and spotlight a TD and a New and Seasoned Player.

Catch on fire about our exciting plans we have in store for you in 2020. So stay tuned, be on the look-out, and watch how we roll!!!
