| Can it ever be beaten? |
Ken and Clive set what must be the record for the highest score of the year, with an astonishing 80% on Sunday (before handicap). I can't recall anything near this since we started this competition.
I think Ken can go out to buy the bottles of wine now! Let's all look on it as a challenge!

| Please help |
Tournament Directors needed.
Please consider helping out in this. We now are in desperate need. You will be given all necessary help and support.
Starting with Sunday sessions would be the preferred option.
The present situation with just two TDs is a recipe for disaster and places an unfair burden on them. If either could not do the job the situation would become unworkable.
Please consider doing a Sunday session or two,

| Did you know...... |
......that there are guidelines to determine what sort of hand qualifies for a strong club or artificial 2-level opening (Benji 2C, 2D). It must satisfy ONE of the following criteria: Minimum of 16 high card points Hand that meets the Rule of 25 (see below) Hand contains as a minimum the normal high card strength of 1-level opening bid plus minimum of 8 clear tricks Rule of 25 = number of high card points (HCP) + total length of 2 longest suits >= 25 For example, if you hold a 6 card suit headed by AKQ plus 2 outside Aces, the HCP total is 17, length of 2 longest suits is 6 + 3 (at least e.g. 6-3-2-2 shape or 6-4-2-1), which equals 17+9 = 26. |
