One point for a small slam and three points for a grand slam

A MUCH better week for slams this week with two grand slams & ten small slams bid - congratulations to John & Brian and Janet & Barry for bidding the G/Ss. As of w/e 6th March - 1st now is John T with 8 pts, 2nd is Brian with 7pts, and joint 3rd are Barry & Maaike with 6 pts. Joint  5th are Janet C, Maureen G & Bill with 5pts. 8th is  Len with 3pts and joint 9th are Alice, Anne Lise, Jan, John H, Maggie, Sue & Wendy F with 2 pts.

WOW what an afternoon for slams after a lack of them - 2 grand slams and 5 small slams on Monday 2nd March. Congratulations to John & Brian and Janet C & Barry who bid a G/S.  On board 15 both pairs bid  7NT - well done to both pairs.   

Another quietish week at the club – hopefully, we will see some of our Brexiteers re-appearing in March. Wednesdays is a quiet day those that use to come on Thursdays would find this day just as friendly – give it a try.

It was lovely to welcome Ann Mould back to the club on Monday – also Elisabeth, Gerhard and John T and our visitors Sheila Stapel, Catie & Jenny. It is also lovely to see that Jackie is persevering with her bridge - back playing again with hubby Mike.

Unfortunately, Allan Edgar, who was doing so well after his knee replacement, was back in hospital last week with an infection but pleased to report he came out on Friday and hopefully, will see him back at the club this coming week.

We still have no pair wanting to join the 70% Club in 2026 and very few slams let alone grand slams – you just aren’t trying!!

We will be holding a “Red Nose Day” tournament on Friday 20^th March – little treats after play.

Thanks to all our cashiers, dealers, scorers and directors for helping out.

If you have any signs of a cold or a cough, please stay away from the Club – we have a few vulnerable members. Also, we would remind you to dress accordingly - bring a cardigan, jacket, or shawl with these cooler temperatures.

Bridge bookings for w/c 2nd & 9^th March are now open – slots available - you can e-mail the Club, use the sign-up sheets in the Clubhouse or TURN UP WITH A PARTNER BEFORE 2.00 LATEST. If you have signed up, please be at the club by 2.15pm.

Friday 20^th March – Committee Meeting & Red Nose Day

Monday 6^th April – Easter Tournament

No birthdays that we know of in March.

Jávea School of Bridge and Social Club (JSBSC) holds duplicate tournaments currently every Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons commencing promptly at 2.30pm.  Doors open at 1.30pm.

We ask that players arrive by the latest 2.15pm thus leaving the Director and Scorer sufficient time to establish and set up the movement for a prompt start at 2.30pm. We have a dealing machine for generating computer dealt hands and also have wireless tablets using ArcScorer.

The tournaments are conducted in the English language and to EBU Guidelines.

We are a multi-national club with Spanish, British, Dutch, German, French, Belgian, Norwegian, Swedish, Austrian, Canadian, Danish and Swiss members - play is in English. 

We are proud of our reputation for being a friendly club and extend a very warm welcome to visitors.
