Woburn Sands Bridge Club

Woburn Sands Bridge Club

Woburn Sands is a friendly Bridge Club that meets at St. Mary's Church Hall, Aspley Hill in Woburn Sands MK17 8NN. The Church Hall is a spacious venue with its own car park. There are two sessions

  •  Wednesday Evenings 6.45pm for a prompt 7.00pm start (to 10.15 pm)
  • Monday Afternoons  (restarts October 3rd) 12.45pm for a prompt 1.00pm start (to 4.00pm)

The hands are randomly generated by computer and dealt using a PlayBridgeDealer4+ machine. The purchase of the machine and associated material (cards and boards) has been supported by funding from Milton Keynes Community Foundation (click here for further information and a demonstration).

Results are collated using Bridge Tab App on Lenovo tablets and reported on this website usually the following day together with details of the hands played.

We are not as yet affiliated to the EBU and cannot issue Master-points

 Members are welcome to bring a guest and other Visitors are welcome and requested to make contact in advance. Contact  Phil Armitage 01908  584473

Director's Hand of the Week Board 1 : 19th October

North opens 1NT, East passes and South can see there is game on. Is a slam possible? Staymen 2 ♣ brings a (surprising) 2♠ reply (2 expected) and South bids 3♣ to show a 2 suited hand. North bids 4♣ to show his ♣ values and encourage thoughts of a slam. South, although only 15pts can see 10 tricks in the black suits, can check aces and go for slam or settle on 5♠ . Only 2 pairs bid a slam when 12 tricks were absolutely cold!
