My Way (sort of)

And now, the end is near,
And so we greet the final table.
My Pard, I've filled with fear,
Despite the best, of which I'm able.

I've bid hands to the full,
When I'd no cards, there were inventions.
And more, much more than this,
Forgot conventions.

Bad boards, we've had a few,
And to be fair a few too many.
I'd bid my clubs three times,
Before believing you'd not any.

I planned and temporized,
With each new suit, the lies grew deeper.
Before I realized,
Passing was cheaper.

Yes there were times, you surely saw,
My raises stepped outside The Law.
And through it all, when there was doubt,
You doubled opps - I took it out.
I played them all and I stood tall,
And did it my way.

Going down by one or two,
I'm off by four, but hey who's counting.
We're last, the sessions through,
There goes your ranking, the tension's mounting.

To think I did all that,
And may I say - not in a shy way,
Through gossip and so much chat,
I chose the wrong play.

For what is a Trick, have you forgot ?
The more he bids, the less he's got.
Double with cards, he'd like to hold,
Only to find, their contract's cold.
The traveller shows I took the blows -
Don't do it my way.


Leaflet Drop
Leaflet Drop

Over 3000 leaflets are being delivered to homes in Watermead, Buckingham Park and Fairford Leys this week advertising our club and our beginners/improvers courses in the Autumn. We are a recruiting club and although it is an expensive business it has always proved worthwhile. Other clubs in the area benefit too when our members visit on different nights.

Really Easy Brighton
Really Easy Brighton
Quite a few of us are going to the Really Easy Congress in Brighton on Monday 11th to 13th August. We could all meet up and have some supper together on the Monday before the play. My sister, who has only done two terms and has got her own ideas about how the game should be played (opening with a double - why not, seems common sense to me) is going to have a go.
The sessions are midweek when the town is less packed and things are a bit cheaper. Why not join us? Click on the title to find out more.

Fame at Last!
Fame at Last!

AVB may have their very own celebrities soon! Our Mo and Tessa were asked by the EBU to take part in a pilot production with the lovely Andrew Robson. Filming took place in May at a studio in Chiswick and takes the form of a sort of 'fly on the wall' teaching bridge club (sounds familiar) with Andrew as the 'club expert'.
The pilot is now in post-production before it is pitched to production companies in the autumn.
