| Points Shmoints |
 |
If you are having one of those all too frequent afternoons when you never seem to get an opening hand read on. Our esteemed TD Nigel is seeking to cheer you up with a Points Schmoints article - a phrase I have unashamedly plagiarised from Andrew Robson, who probably himself borrowed it from somebody else.
Nigel draws the distinction between high card points and opening points. It's basically how to open with fewer than 12 high card points and a clear conscience on the basis of shape. Go for it say I, (and I generally do with disastrous outcomes for whichever poor soul is partnering me at the time). Still, timid players never win at bridge as the great Bobby Dinsdale always told us. A name familiar to thousands of Norfolk bridge players like me who took our first faltering steps under her guidance and that of her husband Dave.

| Welcome to The Ongoing Adventures of Wendy Wensum! |
The annals of Wendy Wensum will be well known to all fans of the late lamented paper Talking Bridge magazine,
These gentle tales of bridge encounters were available for all NCBA members to enjoy. The exciting news is that they have now found a new home here on the ABC website where their esteemed author Nigel Block is busy penning new adventures, starting with a double header, the reflective Bridging the Circle and the farcical Lucky Thirteen.

| Wendy Gee prizewinners |
 Congratulations to Bogdan Drobny and Paul Darby who won the Wendy Gee Charity Pairs in aid of Myeloma UK and took home the coveted rosebowl presented to the club by Wendy's husband Ron. Photo L-R ABC Chair Jane Scarfe, Bogdan and Paul.
There were six and a half tables - plus generous gifts from members unavailable to play - bringing the total donation to Myeloma UK to just over £150. All monies are going to the charity without deductions. Players included several welcome guests to the club and we look forward to seeing them again on future Thursday afternoons.
Thank you to everyone who supported the event in aid of a form of lesser known blood cancer. The charity was suggested by Jan Wells whose husband Alan is being treated for Myeloma.

| Election Day Bridge |
 |
They tried to cancel our Election Day bridge because the Costessey Centre Stafford Hall was needed as a polling station. No chance!
Martin and Jan Pooley galloped to the rescue and volunteered to host us at their beautiful home in Eaton. A big thank you from ABC for their hospitality. As you can see, it's smiling faces all round.
But let us just hope that everyone still remembered to vote!

| Play Bridge in Norfolk - or PBIN for short |
There's now one website where you can find all you need to know about playing bridge in Norfolk.
It's got info on everything from teaching in schools, U3A, fast track learning, individual tuition and clubs from easy starters to county level. Plus links to the EBU, NCBA and EBED and the low-down on the county's affiliated and non-affiliated clubs.
So, if you've just moved to Norfolk and are interested in learning bridge from scratch or improving or awakening your skills, you know where to go. PBIN's primary aim is to get more people playing in clubs - but their secondary objective is just encouraging more people to learn and play wherever! Tea and cake in the kitchen anyone?
Click here to find out all about it.
