| Welcome to Bridge d'Albret |

| Play Bridge in SW France |
 |
Bridge d'Albret is a small friendly Anglo French bridge club located in Mézin, Lot-et-Garonne, (Department 47) bordering on the Gers within easy reach of the historic towns of Nérac and Condom in rural south west France.
We meet once a week on a Tuesday evening for duplicate bridge, the majority of our members play Acol bridge but as we have a mix of nationalities all partnerships are welcome whatever school of bridge they prefer to play.
As we are a small club it's helpful if we know in advance if you wish to play, we do our best to arrange partners if needed.
You can email us via; Contact Us.

| Encouraging Quote! |
Not sure who made it but the following quote is encouraging!
"One of the reasons bridge continues to fascinate players all over the world is that, in order to become even sort of good at it, you have to be willing to be bad at it for a long time".

| Tip of the ……... |
Overcall.
Overcalling 1NT differs to a bid of 1NT as an overcall.
Sometimes there is confusion if it is assumed they are the same.
Overcalling (after) an opening bid of 1NT is not much different to an overcall over an opening such as 1♠ . You'd have a good five/six card suit, with honours, and at least 8/9 points.
To bid 1NT as an overcall,you should have 15-18 points, balanced with a stopper in the suit opened.
