The late John Balson died at the Princess Alice Hospice Esher in 2019. In March 2021 we ran a memorial bridge day in his name that raised a massive £5,000+ for the Hospice.
Here is a bridge story that typifies John. You deal and hold:
♠ A K Q 9 8 3 ♥ A Q ♦ A 9 4 2 ♣ K
You are behind in a match you need to win and the boards are running out. You open 2♣ and partner responds 3♣, a positive response promising 8+hcp and two of the top three honours in clubs. What is your rebid and what was the late John Balson's rebid? Fot the answer click on this link.
