NEW BOOK: "Playing 2/1 The Rest of the Story". For those who want to add modern sophistication to their 2/1 bidding. Here, at last, Paul Thurston delivers the long awaited followup to his ABTA 2003 Book of the Year - 25 Steps to Learning 2/1.

Any Time Your RHO Makes a Skip Bid: 

• DO NOT BID RIGHT AWAY!!! 
• Take a deep  breath,
• Think... about what you are going to bid with your bidworthy hand, OR think about how crappy your lousy hand is,
• Then... either bid, or pass.

Arrive Early Please: In order to start each game on time please make sure that at least one member of your partnership/team arrives at least 15 minutes before the start of the game. Thank you.
