Notice - July Billing

Some members will have noticed that their bills for July included an amount

for the first session in August. This is due to a slight delay in invoicing. If the

full amount has been paid a credit will be carried forward against next

month.

You will also have received a second version of the July bill marked “test” -

please ignore this as it was issued in error.

We are making good progress with the new billing system which will make

life simpler in the future - please bear with us whilst we overcome some

initial teething problems.

6th August, 2026

Nuance of the Day: The Psychology of the Opening Lead
..... see less

Against a No Trump contract, a low card lead usually suggests an honour in that suit. However, a nuanced defender might lead a middle card (like a 7 or 8) from a weak suit to avoid giving declarer a 'free' trick, hoping to find partner's strength instead. ..........
