| Andrew Robson Seminar on Wednesday 7th October 2026 |
  
This was a fantastic day of bridge with 76 members attending. Andrew divided the session into 4 sections each covering a different topic: the importance of showing shape in bidding; planning ahead to avoid repeating a five-card suit; fourth suit forcing (FSF) to show and to ask; overcalling and using the unassuming cue bid or BOSS (Bidding Opener's Suit with Support).
As well as covering these bidding topics, Andrew shared strategies for both declarer and defender play through the replaying of prepared hands. This was very enlightening to everyone there and may well lead to lots of different approaches in future! I will certainly be thinking about playing on my long suits first before taking trumps out amongst many other things!
Many thanks go to Andrew for running such an informative and supportive session. Also to all those involved with arranging the day, particularly to Val, Jane M and Bernard for the superb organisation and smooth running of the day including all the food and refreshments.
If anyone has any feedback, please share with any committee member or email through to memberskenbc@gmail.com

| KBC/KCC Parking |
The Cricket Club owns the property and we lease our part of the building and share the use of the car park. Now sessions are becoming busier, we do need to remember the parking rules and ensure that we park with due consideration for other users. Usually the parking arrangements for KBC members should be as follows
- First arrivals to park up to the fence line adjacent to the new housing
- The next row (and subsequent rows) must be parked hard up to the first row. Do not leave space for vehicle movements. It is not necessary as we all leave at the same time .
- Emergency vehicle access to our front door should be maintained at all times. Do not park in such a way as to obstruct this.
- Leave access clear to the parking spaces for those with disabilities.
Finally and importantly
- Please do not park on the grass
- Please do not park against the walls of the Cricket club
Occasionally there may be a need for a different parking arrangement and if that is the case someone will be there to direct you.
Thank you for your compliance.
