Congratulations to Steve and Yvette who, along with their team members, won the best Bronze team at The Teams Event at the SBU Bridge Congress at Stirling this weekend.  Their prize was entry to the Aviemore SBU Bridge Congress in November.  42 boards were played and there were 26 teams.

The Club was saddened to hear of the recent death of Eleanor Weir. Eleanor used to keep the Monday book and went on many Bridge holidays over the years with the Club.  She was passionate about the game and very bold in her bidding!  Monday was her favourite day of the week because she could play bridge and catch up with her friends. We will miss her greatly and our thoughts are with her family at this sad time. The picture shows Eleanor seated with some of her Monday friends.

There are sessions on Mondays at 1:30pm, Tuesdays at 2pm and Wednesday evenings at 7pm. If you intend playing on Monday, please contact Norma Perry on 07732557096, Tuesday afternoon, please contact Cathy Cursiter on 07534 218010 or  catherine306@hotmail.com. . If you intend playing on a Wednesday evening, please contact Yvette Johnson on yvettejohnson311@gmail.com. For any session, please contact Norma, Cathy or Yvette as appropriate, NOT later than the day previous. For ANY session, please make sure that you arrive NOT later than 10 minutes before the advertised start time. - This will make it easier for the scorer to set up the event - thanks.

• DO call the TD when anything goes wrong.
• DO keep your eye on the time.
• DO make sure your cards are returned to the board in the correct slot.
• DO leave your bidding cards on the table until the Opening Lead is faced.
• DON’T ask questions about the bidding after the auction until your partner has the opening lead face down on the table.
• DON’T pick up your cards and return to the board until everybody at the table agrees the result.
• DON’T pressure your opponents into accepting your interpretation of the rules (call the TD).
• DON’T make comments about the opponents bidding or play (unless invited)
