Good morning
EBU Masterpoint Promotions in April 2026
Congratulations to two of our members who achieved EBU Masterpoint promotions in April 2026:
Sue Barraclough - 2 Star Master (15,000 Masterpoints)
Tim De La Rue - District Master (1,000 Masterpoints)
A big thank you to Monday night players
Last Monday we had four-and-a-half tables for our duplicate session, which meant that most pairs had a sit-out at some stage during the evening. A big thank you to those of you who, during your sit-out, helped a table of Bridge School members (Rosemarie, Penny and Liz) with their bidding. They very much appreciated you doing that and said they really enjoyed it. So much so that, if you ever feel like doing it again, please do!

At the the table: the Directors' Cut
This week, unusually, we are going to repeat last week's message in full. That's because we haven't, as yet, received any responses to the challenge we set you. There are still prizes to be won!
Did you know that we are currently celebrating the third anniversary of "At the table: the Directors' Cut"? Over the last three years we have touched on many different rules and asked you to do lots of different things. This week, we would like to issue a challenge to you all. Please could you try and identify a rule or something that we have asked you to do that is not about (a) ensuring fair play, (b) avoiding errors or (c) being courteous to other people. There will be prizes!
Last week at the club
There were four and a half tables at the Lindum on Monday night. Well done to Keith & Tony who came top with 63.9%, and to Alan & John who came second with 61.1%.
At Bridge School on Monday we continued practising our defence.
There were eight full tables at the Lindum on Wednesday afternoon. Well done to Mike & Cos who came top with 67.9%, and to Tina & Jon who came second with 57.7%.
