Jacob shows the the way to reduce our Carbon footprint!
Jacob Moody one of Scotlands top under 19 Junior players has decided to discard the personal score card and use his mobile phone to record his scores. Kath his excellent partner is also setting up her phone to do the same. Is it not great that Edinburghs two best young players show us how to help the environment by using their electronic devices to save paper? How good is that!!
The Ap we are currently using is in early development and experimental stages and should be for sale sometime later next year!!
Info on how to play at BBO's Acol bridge club.

I have received many queries about Bridge base online. This is a free and excellent site.It is paid for by Bill Gates, a really good player who likes to encourage Bridge. I would suggest you play at the Acol players bridge club where you can play your normal methods in a relaxed atmosphere.
First of all CLICK THIS LINK and Register with BBO if you are not a member.
Now Login and follow these instructions.
1)Click..list all tables.
2)Click ...private and public bridge club.
3)Click ..Acol players bridge club.
4) Click a seat and say ' Hi P ..I play a weak NT with 3 weak twos!'.
Should you play with somebody who does not play weak two bids ...a strong 2 shows about 18-21 points with a good six card suit(a hand you are very unlikely to hold).
This should do the job and you wont have to play a strong NT!!

Thursday night latest

 It was a  busy night with exactly 12 tables so we tried eleven rounds of two boards with a skip after five. Three new players joined us Elaine, Sheila and Graham so a warm welcome to them. Brenda and Barney were runaway winners E/W with a huge score while Simon and Pat took the honours N/S.

A score was filled in on the wrong line on board 2 effecting the overall results.

 
Melville Swiss teams....news flash
Jacob (16 years) playing with Brydon along with Kath (12 years) and me (100 years) represented The Edinburgh No Fears Bridge club in the Melville Swiss teams. We got off to a great start crushing our first round opps 20-0. Promoted to the top room we had a narrow 11-9 win in our next match and then had to play a team of star Scottish international players. Sadly they were too powerful for us and despite our best efforts we were ran over 20-0. Our final match saw us play international ladies player Fiona McQuakers team to a small 9-11 defeat. Never mind we finnished dead average and were rewarded with a small prize.
Well done Kath, Jacob and Brydon...i felt very proud of you to be in the top 2 tables  for a couple of rounds!!
Gold Cup update (latest)
Every year I enter a team into the UK Gold Cup. This is the blue riband event and the top players always compete, infact well over 200 teams from England,Scotland and Wales. It is a straight knock out and to win is regarded by most of us as the ultimate achievement in domestic Bridge...even ahead of the home international series (The Camrose)!
Over the years i have reached two 1/4 finals and one semi final....so the holy grail still awaits. This year my team has got off to a good start beating a strong Glasgow team in round 2 and Liz McGowans team in round 3.
The 4th round draw has just been made and we will be playing the 11th Seeds.... the Scottish team captained by Brian Short.
Cheers Derek
