| Lingfield and Dormans Bridge Club |
Welcome to the Lingfield and Dormans Bridge Club web site. Visitors very welcome - also at all our Sim Pairs events, but members have priority in the (very) unlikely event that we are short of space.
There is a steward system in place on Tuesdays and Thursdays (except for special events) for players who do not have a partner. Click here for details. |

| No heart, partner? |
| Yes, partners can sometimes be cruel! But from 1st August 2008 you will, as a defender, also be able to ask partner this question ("failure to follow suit enquiries concerning a revoke" - Law 61B3) after the 2007 Bridge Laws come into force in England. And from 1st August you can also tell him/her that she/he has pointed the last quitted trick in the wrong direction ("arrangement of tricks" - Law 65B3) as long as you mention it immediately. Click here for an EBU summary of changes. Click here for a .PDF file of the complete 2007 Laws from the WBF website. |
