♣️♦️Killin 2024 Bridge Break♥️♠️

♣ ♦ A great time was had by all!!♥ ♠ 

Sixteen enthusiastic bridge players from the Kyle of Lochalsh Bridge Club, visited Killin Hotel last week, for an intensive teaching bridge holiday with our local professional teacher/player Mark Lincoln as lecturer. 

Mark gave us a challenging 2 day programme of seminars, play and review,  including Hand Evaluation, Competitive Bidding and Winning Tactics. High power stuff indeed! 

Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the course: the ambiance, food, rooms and staff in the Killin Hotel, were all exemplary. Thank you, Killin. We had a ball, and we’ll be back!

The happy connection between Mark and the Skye and Lochalsh players began in 2020 when he kindly helped our small but active club to play online during COVID, allowing us to continue playing this wonderful mind sport while stuck in our homes, thus preserving our sanity!

Now we’ve bounced back, playing Face2Face twice a week in Kyleakin and once a week on RealBridge.

Furthest travelled award?

We’re not sure exactly  what the chocolate orange prize was for….maybe the furthest travelled? It was lovely to welcome long distance members Harriet and Guido Galantes looking much bigger than they appear on RealBridge! 

Winners at the CaféBridge Aperitifs tournament!


Well done  to Sara Villiers and Julia Hailes, the winners at our  CaféBridge Aperitifs tournament in the Haven. 
A 20 board Mitchel with a switch, expertly TD’d by Victor Lesk. Super catering by Ank and Mary Jane. A good fun but very competitive evening with 15 full tables. 
An excellent warm up for tomorrow….

Welcome back!

The Spodes were back in the Highlands!  They didn’t pick up the potatoes at Dunkeld nor the gold at Plockton….but they DID pick up the Sunday night trophy! Now that’s an annual triumph by KoLBC at the Newtonmore Swiss weekend.
