There is no sign up required and partners can just turn up on the night to play in the competition. The results will be posted on our website as usual and a copy will be sent to ECATS.

| Monday Afternoon Bridge - Change to Tablets for Scoring |
It is planned to use the tablets from Monday 9 March to score the results instead of manually recording the scores on the travellers. Boards will be pre-dealt and the results will be posted at the end of the game and then uploaded to the internet. The names of Monday players have been added to a database, so when you put in the players initials on the tablet, the name options should appear. For simplicity the tablets will not initially be used to record the lead card, just the bid and the score. A scorecard should still be kept by each pair as a further check on the scores.
Results for Monday 16 March were posted on the website later than expected, as a file was inadvertently deleted, and had to be retrieved.

| Grand Slam Rollover |
Congratulations to John Simpson and Chris Cosgrove for bidding and making 7 Hearts on Thursday 12 March and winning a bumper prize of over £100 each in the process. The rollover had been running for months without a winner, hence the large payout. At the other table (there were only 2.5 tables on the evening), Bob and Ian bid 6 Spades and also took 13 tricks.
