| Woburn Sands Bridge Club |
Woburn Sands is a friendly Bridge Club that meets at St. Mary's Church Hall, Aspley Hill in Woburn Sands MK17 8NN. The Church Hall is a spacious venue with its own car park. There are two sessions
- Wednesday Evenings 6.45pm for a prompt 7.00pm start (to 10.15 pm)
- Monday Afternoons (restarts October 3rd) 12.45pm for a prompt 1.00pm start (to 4.00pm)
The hands are randomly generated by computer and dealt using a PlayBridgeDealer4+ machine. The purchase of the machine and associated material (cards and boards) has been supported by funding from Milton Keynes Community Foundation (click here for further information and a demonstration).
Results are collated using Bridge Tab App on Lenovo tablets and reported on this website usually the following day together with details of the hands played.
We are not as yet affiliated to the EBU and cannot issue Master-points
Members are welcome to bring a guest and other Visitors are welcome and requested to make contact in advance. Contact Phil Armitage 01908 584473

| Director's Hand of the Week Board 1 : 19th October |
|
North opens 1NT, East passes and South can see there is game on. Is a slam possible? Staymen 2 ♣ brings a (surprising) 2♠ reply (2♥ expected) and South bids 3♣ to show a 2 suited hand. North bids 4♣ to show his ♣ values and encourage thoughts of a slam. South, although only 15pts can see 10 tricks in the black suits, can check aces and go for slam or settle on 5♠ . Only 2 pairs bid a slam when 12 tricks were absolutely cold!

| Looking for a Regular or Occasional Partner? |
If you're looking for either a regular or an occasional partner, or are perhaps willing to be contacted when someone else is looking, there are two options.
One. Just click on the Membership tab opposite left and log into the secure Members'Area with your own email address and password.
Select 'New Message' and how long you want it listed for. It's then very easy to either compose your own message, or use any of the standard message templates from the drop-down menu, which can only be seen by other clubmembers also logged into the Members'Area.
Two. Anyone who needs a partner may also get in touch either by email or telephone
- by Tuesday for a partner on Wednesday
- by Friday for a partner on Monday.
