Handwriting

What does your handwriting say about you?

Have you ever experienced…..

Today, I would like to demonstrate my ability to analyze handwriting.

This coming weekend, we are having a sectional tournament (October 28-30) and the District 9 NAP Final (October 29 and possibly 30). Details are on the website (www.stpetebridge.org) and on flyers that are available at the club. If you write your name on the sign-up sheets to bring cookies, snacks and bars, I can tell that you are a gifted, caring person willing to share your skills with others. Thanks to those who do not put their name on the list, but offer to make a donation toward the cost of the snacks that we provide.

I will be able to determine that you are intelligent if you handwrite your name on a number of lists at the club offering events to help improve your game:

1. The Major Suit Raises seminar (with Andrew Garnett) on Thursday (Oct 27), covering all three and four card raises, splinter bids, Jordan 2 NT and Jacoby 2NT. There will be practice hands after each topic.  
2. The Defense Class (with Gail Haire) which starts on November 7.
3. The list of those looking for mentors over the next few months. Or, the list of those willing to mentor.

    

   If you sign up to play for St. Petersburg in the Interclub Challenge scheduled for Sunday November 6 at Clearwater DBC, I can tell that you love competition and like to be on a winning team! The signup sheet and details are at the club.

    

   

    

   Thankfully, we use bidding boxes, so you will have no difficulty deciphering opponents’ bids whether you are playing in the following games against a doctor or anyone else for that matter:
