On Tuesday the Club welcomed two visitors from Nottingham, Bill and Polly Gibb.  They were up here on holiday and made the journey from Harris to join us for the evening.  We also welcomed Pat and Alice who were able to play on one of their rare Tuesday visits.  It was great to see them and as attendance was very poor the four of them were an added bonus.  We had 3/12 tables and a 27 board movement.  The hands were the weirdest ones imaginable!  Liz spent the first 12 boards without a double count in her hand.  Not only did she and Jimmy not have a bid but they also had to defend with no points!  Not sure how the second half of their evening went but the final scores suggest that things didn’t improve much!

The hands were either feast or famine with a number of slams available and plenty of games to bid for.  And with only 3 scores on the board it was win or bust.

The partnership of Ken and Stewart did amazingly well and they finished in first place with a fantastic score of 70%.

Then, remarkably, there were 3 pairs in joint second with 51%.  Congratulations to Bill and Polly, Rita and Janet and Jenny and Gerda. 

Next week is the first SBU Simultaneous competition of the season, the Lord Thompson.
