Well done this weeks winners John and Rob with an excellent thirty five stars

Board 8 was a tidy slam, where north is far too strong for a pre-empt and does best to open 1♠.

Playing a weak NT, the ''Baron 2NT'' very strong support raise convention is a far more effective method than applying the strong no trump version which is ''Jacoby''. Where as the latter is a wide ranging twelve plus, the Baron 2NT response shows at least fifteen and is very much a slam interest bid. After implementing this excellent method, norths 3♣ rebid showed shortage and my subsequent 3♥ cue bid was exactly what Stephen wanted to hear. Only the number of aces in my hand would determine the final contract. Sadly 5♣ showed three key cards, so no grand slam but an easy small.

Meanwhile the winners too play the ''Baron 2NT'' response and in a slightly more extended auction comfortably reached the spade slam. Great stuff them
