Bridge at The Athenaeum
 
Bulletin
The next Tutored Bridge session at the Club is on 6th December 2016.  We will play 12 hands in all, and discuss the key points in bidding and play after each hand. 
 

The St James's Cafe Bridge Drive was once again a sell-out, with 40 pairs competing over 30 boards played at 5 venues, followed by dinner at the Naval & Military Club.  Winners, not for the first time, were the RAC's Tony Scouller & Arun Suri.  Paul Thornton & Gery Weston were runners up, and Pascal Ricketts & Keith Robertson also finished in the top third of the field

Buttons undone!
The Athenaeum team scored an unexpected victory in the first round of the Leslie Dodds Cup - the knock-out competition for teams in the London Business Houses Contract Bridge League.  Our opponents were Buttons A, one of the League's strongest teams.  Our team comprising Catherine Rice Evans, Keith Robertson, Rex Goad and Paul Thornton gained a 24 IMP advantage on the first 12 boards, which we defended successfully throughout the second half.

Athenians Succumb to Late Swing

The MCC played host to an Athenaeum team-of-12 on 9th Nov, winning a close fought match by 17 IMPS.  The visitors used their height advantage to good effect to gain a slender 1st Innings lead.  However the home captain called for the heavy roller during the (extended) drinks interval, and some erratic Athenaeum bidding allowed MCC to squeak home.  Many thanks to MCC for a splendid fixture; the return match is eagerly awaited.
