The Essex Charity Event

 

 

The Essex Charity event was held on 17 November.

Marcia cooked a lovely meal and the players enjoyed their bridge.  Essex subsidised the hall hire and UM. The wine and board dealing were provided by committee members free of charge. This means the amount to go to the charities is £860.32. Thanks to everyone who donated.

Boot camps - Marc Chawner

 

Following the Boot Camp on 12 May  Marc Chawner has now produced a new guide Know your Percentages to add to; Defence, Play in a No Trump contract and Play in a Suit contract 

 

Most of the best players in Essex were set the task of playing the hands in each category -  not always successfully.

 

See if you can do better, if not with Marc's hands maybe the next time you play at the club.

 

 Download the PDFs Defence, No trumpSuit contractsKnow Your Percentages

 

They will give you everything you could ever want to know!

 

Once again the ECBA would like to express their sincere gratitude to Marc for this formidable work.
