Congratulations to Nathalie & John on winning the Mixed Pairs for the John Masters Cup and to David, Margaret, Shirley and Brian who won the Multiple Teams on 2 August.

The next competition is for the Men's and Women's Pairs on 6 September. Please enter on the sheets on the noticeboard.

Rules for all competitions can be found under"Competitions". Please note that, except for the finals of the Pairs and Mixed Pairs Championships there will be no other duplicate bridge on competition night. Rubber and/or Chicago may be available.

Reminder from the Directors

Use of the Stop card

Before making a jump bid the Stop card should be placed on the table and left there for about 10 seconds after the bid is made.

The next player (LHO) should not call until the Stop card is picked up.

The purpose of this Regulation is to give LHO a chance to think (or not!) without it becoming obvious to their partner.

Folkestone Duplicate Bridge Club

§¨©ª The Grand Hotel, Folkestone §¨©ª

www.folkestoneduplicatebridgeclub.org.uk



Our venue is the magnificent and historic Grand Hotel, situated on the famous Leas at Folkestone with spectacular views across the English Channel.  Do have a look at the Hotel's web site at www.grand-uk.com.

We meet on Mondays for duplicate bridge, 7pm for a 7.15pm start.  We usually have about 16 tables; we use pre-dealt hands and hand records are available at the end of the evening.

Our attractive venue and the Club's success means that we usually have a full membership.  We may have to put new applicants on a waiting list.

Do get in touch if you are visiting the area.  We have a Host System although a host is not available on Competition Nights (usually the first Monday in the month) nor for Simultaneous Pairs.
Club members are asked to check the Club notice board or the web site, 'Information' - 'General Information' page and note their turn on the Host List Rota.  The Host List 2010-2011 is now available.  

Please note that the first Monday of each month is competition night and for Members only.    We also hold several 'Sims Pairs' during the year (see the 'Calendar' page).

Additional Sessions
In view of the very small numbers currently attending it has been decided to abandon the extra sessions on Wednesday afternoons and Friday evenings for the rest of the summer. We will try again in the autumn.
