1. Generally
    a) Count your cards before looking at them.
    b) Don't be afraid to call director. He/she is there to help if there are any problems
    c). Keep discussions muted at all times, particularly at the end of play

2. During the bidding
  a) Keep you hand away from the bidding box until you have decided what to do.
       Hovering over it just gives partner unauthorised information
  b) Use the STOP card before any jump bid. Leave STOP on the table for 10 seconds
       (during which time no-one else should bid)
  c) Remember to ALERT any of partner's bids that have a meaning other than the actual suit/bid shown
      ... or ANNOUNCE where necessary (see below for alert-able and announce-able bids)
  d) You may only ask questions about the bidding when it is your turn to bid.
       -  only ask if the answer may change what you do next.
  e) If you are on opening lead, before choosing your lead card:
          You may ask for a review of the bidding and the meaning of bids.
          Do not ask about specific individual bids, it may be giving partner information about your hand
      Then play your lead card FACE DOWN and ask if there are any other questions
          (you cannot now change this card unless it is not actually your turn to lead)
   f) If you are defender or declarer, you may ask questions after the opening lead is selected
          (as above, although declarer may ask about individual bids)
   g) Leave all the bids visible on the table until the opening lead is face up on the table

3. During the play
   a) Leave the board visible and correctly oriented on the table throughout play
   b) You should not leave a bidding card angled or protruding to remind you of the contract
       (There is a law about playing without prompts, and it may give other tables information) 
   c) Do not play overly quickly or slowly (tempo) to avoid giving information away
   d) Be careful of body language that may give partner unauthorised information
        (call director if you think opponents may have gained an advantage from this)

4. At the end of play
  a) ALL PLAYERS. Check and agree the number of tricks made made before collecting the cards!
  b) Shuffle the cards before returning them to the board
  c)  After North has entered the contact,
       i) A defender (East by convention) should check it has been entered correctly before pressing "accept"
      ii) North should allow all players to view the results
   REMEBER - BOTH SIDES ARE CULPABLE IF AN INCORRECT SCORE IS ACCEPTED
 e) Remain seated until director calls the move
 f) It is North's responsibility to pass the boards on to the next table

Our club does not insist on the use of Convention Cards.
Hence it is good practice, on arrival at a table, to make a brief statement such as
  "We play 5 card majors" (hence minor suit openings may be <4 cards)

1. Announcing
This is to help speed up play. Bidder's partner simply announces what a bid means.
 a) After a 1NT opener - partner announces the range of points
 b) After a minor suit opener that may contain <3 cards.
     The announcement is "may be as few as X cards"
     Note - this means a bid of a 3-card suit does NOT need announcing!)
 c) After a standard Stayman bid of clubs (the responses do not need announcing)
 d) After a transfer bid over partner's NT bid
 e) After a 2- or 3- level opener, state the strength (weak, strong, 19-21, etc)

2. Alerting
You should alert whenever partner's bid has a special meaning. Examples
 a) a 1C of 1D bid that is strong and artificial (i.e. not promising the suit)
 b) Any "multi" bid (e.g. the multi-2D opener, a 2NT overcall promising minors)
 c) A double of a suit bid that does not promise the other suits
 d) A double of a NT bid that is not "for penalties"

You do not need to alert any bids above 3NT (unless made on 1st round)

EBU define a "strong" bid as 16+ points, OR 13+ points in 2 suits with 10 or more cards
