February 17th 2026 - Prague Day 3
In case you're just finding the Abbey Smith Bridge Club website for the first time, Abbey is playing in the European Bridge League European Winter Transnational Championships in Prague, and pairing with Tom Paske in the mixed teams. The team name is Nettleton, and the picture above is Abbey and Tom (left) and Diana Nettleton and David Gold (right).
It's day 3 and the format for the competition has changed ('again!' Abbey reports). 'Now everyone is in the semi-final A and the top 20 qualify for the final. The semi-final is over two days again. There is a carry forward from the previous two days but not much so it's a bit like starting afresh - a little behind'. Photo is Team Nettleton, Abbey and Tom Paske, Diana Nettleton and David Gold.

February 16th 2026 - Prague Day 2
It's day 2 of qualifying for Team Nettleton who ended day 1 in 37th place, but Abbey is confident day 2 will be better. As every one of us says after a dreadful first 6 rounds at any duplicate 'the only way is up!!', and I'm sure its no different at Abbey's level (we'll find out when Abbey gets back, how do the team approach day 2 after a tricky day 1?).

Abbey's working environment today is very cold and picturesque outside, and very dull and bridge-like inside, as the pictures show us.
February 14-15th 2026 - Prague arrival and Day 1
