Teams of Four at Elmswell (Sun.22/03/26)

See 'Results News' for the initial report and the postscript.

Danny died in Ipswich hospital this morning (Sat. 21/03).  You have an email from Charles in your e-postbox if you haven't already seen it.  The family will keep us informed of arrangements for his funeral.  He once told me 'I'm going to be burnt when I go' so I guess it'll be Seven Hills or maybe a separate and later memorial service.  The grumpy old beggar was an icon of the Club and I'm going to miss him a lot.

One tie played in the Winkworth Shield on Mon. 16th. Mar. Simon & Richard beat Stuart & Stanley.

You'll find the results of all first round ties of the Winkworth Shield competition on the 'Results News' page.

To use the 'Talking Bridge' (see below) you'll need to log on via the 'Members Only' tag which is top right on this page.  There is an alternative way to log on via a pop up window which will appear if you click first on 'comment' on the article itself but this is not recommended because, like the Webmaster, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.  This is attributable to a wrinkle in the software and not in the Webmaster.  When you've logged on go back to the home page via 'Home' on the menu panel and then click on 'comment'.  There are also thumbs up and thumbs down icons you can click for 'like' and 'dislike' but these are optional.

RELAXED WEDNESDAYS
What we do on Wednesdays.

RELAXED WEDNESDAYS ARE FOR THOSE WHO WANT A SOCIAL TIME AND TO PLAY IN AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE YOU ARE ENCOURAGED TO ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE THEM.

If you learnt Bridge years ago and are wondering if you could play again, or maybe you have recently been having lessons and want to try out your new found interest or are a kitchen table bridge player interested in trying Duplicate Bridge then you should be coming along to Framlingham Bridge Club on Wednesday afternoons. 

As the name implies Duplicate Bridge is when there is a set of deals which is played by every pair and the results are compared to see who was most successful. On Wednesday we play around 18 hands at the Duplicate Tables.

We can help with bidding and play if needed, or you could ask for a specific subject to be explained. You may just wish to tidy up your system and practice with your partner. If you would like have time out of the melee and would like help please let the Director know on your arrival.

Please feel free to come along for a taster afternoon; there is no need to let any of us know beforehand but if you do then at least one of us will be looking out for you. 

Feel free to call any Committee Member, although Glyn Button (Secretary) on 01728 831647 is probably the best bet.

The cost for a whole afternoon's entertainment is £2.00 That can't be bad, can it?
