More Greetings from The President
More Greetings from The President

Hello again Chris,

We have Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Estonia and Finland to our west - we are heading east and homeward bound so to speak.
We have crossed 'checkpoint Charlie' and are enjoying the beautiful old city of St. Petersburg in Russia.  We travelled here by fast train from Helsinki and experienced the border guard crossing. When we crossed into Russia you could see a noticeable difference in the rural living standards. However once we got into the city we are appreciating the quality of living that seemingly exists here.
We leave for Moscow by train on Tuesday and look forward to seeing the city.
We have attached some photos for you.
South-eastern Iceland was amazing with the many glacial rivers and rocky deserts stretching for many kilometers at a time.
The trip along the Norwegian coast-line with the many fiords and glaciers was an experience all on its own. We now understand why these Nordic countries are so environmentally conscious - they have so much to protect.
The two days we had in the old walled city of Tallin, Estonia wore us out.  We walked everywhere on the cobbled stoned street and were surrounded by street after street with houses dating back to the 15th. and 16th century. What was amazing was the detailed record-keeping for many of the houses.
Australia had not even been discovered and these countries were engaged in massive wars. It is disappointing however to see the effects of Westernisation - namely capitalism - on these countries so rich in heritage.
I hope you enjoy the photos which try to give an indication of some of our travel..
Looking forward to catching up in less than 2 weeks time.
Regards,
John and Maree

RECORDING RESULTS

• When you’re on opening lead, your first priority after the auction is to make the opening lead. This should be done before entering the contract into the Bridgemate or writing on your personal scorer.

• The same applies to dummy – after the opening lead is faced, spread your hand before doing anything else.
